Losses and Efficiency Calculation for Multi-Port Converter

Paper in proceeding, 2022

In this paper, a multi-port non-isolated SEPIC converter is analysed for integrating with the renewable energy source and also losses and efficiency are calculated. The proposed converter utilizes a single stage power conversion, thereby providing higher energy efficiency. The proposed structure comprises of a combination of Pulsating Voltage Cells (PVC) and Pulsating Voltage Source Cell (PVSC) on the input side and a Pulsating Voltage Load Cell (PVLC) on the output side. The two topologies involved are Multi Input Single Output (MISO) and Multi Input Multiple Output (MIMO) which are bidirectional. The efficiency of the proposed multi-port converter has been calculated by determining the switching stress of the power electronic switches used. The proposed multi-port SEPIC converter considers the entire system to be a single-stage converter, and promises higher energy efficiency.
