Abstract
High-gain converters are well-established circuit designs that find practical use in industrial and commercial settings, particularly in applications demanding high power ratings, such as Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) and grid-connected Renewable Energy Sources (RES). High-gain topologies from a single source pose reliability issue in RES applications due to increased device count and stress. In the event of source failure, these topologies may lead to an energy supply gap for the loads. Addressing this challenge, integrating diverse energy sources with step-up voltage capability stands as a promising solution for both DC microgrid and Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. In this study, a Dual-Input Single-Output (DISO) converter is introduced to integrate various sources and achieve an increased output voltage gain by charging the inductors in parallel and discharging them in series. Moreover, if any sources fail, the converter can supply the energy to the load from the available source and it can be operated in bidirectional mode. This paper also extensively discusses theoretical analysis, considerations related to design and circuit modeling. Furthermore, include a comparison of this converter with several other topologies. It examined to validated with a 250 W laboratory prototype.
