This paper proposes a multi-stage power generation system suitable for renewable energy sources, which is composed of a DC-DC power converter and a three-phase inverter. The DC-DC power converter is a boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The DC-DC converter has two switches operates like a continuous conduction mode. The input current of DC-DC...

This paper addresses a bi-directional dc/dc converter suitable for an energy storage system with an additional function of galvanic isolation. An energy storage device such as an electric double layer capacitor is directly connected to one of the dc buses of the dc/dc converter without any chopper circuit. Nevertheless, the dc/dc converter can continue operating when the voltage across the ener...

The existence of unreliable renewable energy resources would be required to use energy resources and storage units simultaneously, particularly in applications such as electrical vehicles and stand-alone energy supplying systems. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new topology of multi input converter in hybrid power supply system of photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery for medium pow...

To improve the energy quality, most of the renewable energy systems include an energy storage element charged by the bidirectional DC-DC converter. This paper proposes the bidirectional DC-DC converter which employs the two bridge configuration resonant class-E converters on the both sides of the isolating transformer. The low side converter is controlled as step up and the high side converter ...

Wind is one of the most abundant renewable sources of energy in nature. Wind energy can be harnessed by a wind energy conversion system (WECS) composed of a wind turbine, an electric generator, a power electronic converter and the corresponding control system. The most advanced generator type is perhaps the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). As far as microgrid is concerned the load...

-The simulation of a nonlinear controller with power sharing control capabilities for a wind energy system double input buck boost–buck boost converter is presented. A multiple-input DC–DC converter is useful to obtain the regulated output voltage from input power source such as a wind array. Double input DC-DC buck boost converter principle of operation and the equations describing the convert...

This paper applies new maximum-power-point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to a hybrid renewable energy system that combines both Wind-Turbine Generator (WTG) and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Module ( SPVM). In this paper, the WTG is a direct-drive system and includes wind turbine, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator, three-phase full bridge rectifier, and buck-bust converter, while the SPV...
