Abstract

In this paper, a new three-port DC-DC converter is introduced. The designed converter benefits from a small number of elements, and it has a bidirectional port for the battery. This converter can operate in three different operating modes including renewable source-alone mode, battery-alone mode, and battery-charging mode. A prototype of the proposed converter was built and tested in the laboratory. Its dynamic responses to the changes in the input voltage and output load in all three operation modes verified the accuracy of the designed converter.
