Item A non-isolated bidirectional high gain integrated multiport converter for grid tied solar PV fed telecom load(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Sheeja, V.; Kalpana, R.; Singh, B.; Subramaniam, U.; Muhibbullah, M.A multiport converter (MPC) with a non-isolated high gain bidirectional port is proposed for the grid integration of solar photovoltaic array (SPA) fed telecommunication load. The SPA along with a battery energy storage (BES) meets the power demand of the telecom DC load and the excess/deficit power is exchanged with AC grid. The MPC feeds the DC link of a voltage source converter for bidirectional operation with the AC grid. The small signal analysis of the converter shows that its operation is stable. The SPA, BES, and telecommunication load are rated for lower voltages, consecutively reducing the complexity with series-connected SPA. The proposed MPC possesses the merits of high voltage gain, reduced inductor size, and reduced number of components. Moreover, a power flow management algorithm is devised for the proposed converter that regulates the DC voltage at the telecom load and ensures smooth power flow control among various ports. The MPC is able to operate at various modes by controlling the ports independently. The converter performance during steady state and dynamic operating conditions under various modes are analyzed with detailed simulation studies. An experimental prototype is developed and test results are demonstrated to prove the viability of the designed converter. © 2022 The Authors.

The proposed charger integrates a three-phase three-level boost power factor correction (TL-BPFC) converter with a bidirectional dual-output CLL (DO-CLL) series resonant converter. In the ac–dc conversion stage, three switches are controlled using a hysteresis technique to enhance input power quality. The second stage, responsible for dc–dc conversion, incorporates an H5-bridge on the primary side and a voltage doubler circuit on the secondary side, providing decoupled outputs through two high-frequency transformers (HFTs) connected to resonant tanks. This configuration allows flexible adjustment of the resonant tank inputs, which can operate in full-bridge (FB), half-bridge (HB), or inactive (IA) modes. This design provides a key advantage of a wide voltage range during forward and reverse operation using reconfigurable H5 bridge. Additionally, the switches in the DO-CLL achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) during turn-on, and the identical HFTs minimize the cross-coupling effect, to enhance the efficiency. A scaled-down laboratory prototype of the off-board EV charger is developed to provide two distinct outputs of 400 V and 200 V, achieving an overall efficiency of 97.6%. © 1982-2012 IEEE.
