Multi–Bidirectional Port DC–DC Converter Improvement Closed Loop System Using Rule Smooth

Abstract

The development of distributed renewable energy sources for power production is popular nowadays. To combine many renewable energy sources of various sorts into a single source for numerous uses. In a technology wave of high-quality power demand, multi-DC–DC converters have been proposed for effective power management and grid integration for diverse sources and advancements. Multi-port DC–DC Converters are a few input ports that interact with numerous photovoltaic (PV) panels and battery sources. The multi-port DC–DC converter handles the crucial maximum power point tracking feature in addition to the low-level DC voltage (MPPT). The unenthusiastic rule soft switching control (URSSC) technique, which is developed in this work, depends on switching as another isolated multi-DC–DC converter for the concurrent power execution of various renewable energy sources. Using maximum power point tracking (MPPT), the suggested converter is used to regulate a solar hybrid generating system composed of two separate photovoltaic (PV) boards. The outcomes of both the simulator and the experiment are shown to validate the ability to get MPPT simultaneously for both PV boards using the suggested converter. To approve the MPPT control of the proposed multi-port DC–DC converter architecture, simulation studies are carried out in MATLAB Simulation.
