Chapter 6: Control of DC–DC converters
Abstract
The multiple-input converters presented are useful for combining several energy sources whose power capacity or voltage levels are different to obtain regulated output voltage. The limitation of these topologies is that only one power source is allowed to transfer energy into the load at a time to prevent power coupling effects. Among the most recent works, a multiple-input DC–DC buck–boost converter is proposed. This proposed converter has minimal parts count; however, it has a negative reference output. Of course, its output can be reversed by utilizing a transformer. In addition, bidirectional operation of proposed converter requires additional converters from output to each input.
