Abstract
A three-port bidirectional DC-DC converter for grid-interactive renewable energy source system applications. The three-phase topology is suitable for residential power requirements. The control of the backup battery system and the renewable energy source system are naturally decoupled. In addition, the port interface with the renewable energy is current type, which can implement maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and soft switching under wide variations in the renewable energy source terminal voltage.
