A New Three Port Converter with Power Flow Management Control for Solar PV fed Telecom Load

Abstract

Multiport converters are reported in the literature for integrating multiple power sources, primarily renewable energy sources along with energy storage systems. The use of multiport converters decreases power conversion stages and hence increased efficiency. A three port converter is presented in this paper for solar PV fed telecom load. The control of the three port converter for the power flow management is also discussed. A solar PV array, battery energy storage and the telecom DC load are connected at the three ports of the converter. The performance of the converter along with the power flow management control is validated with detailed simulation studies using MATLAB with its SimPower System Blockset. © 2020 IEEE.
