Abstract
A Nonisolated multiinput multioutput DCDC boost converter
for different voltage requirements is proposed in this paper.
The major power source is obtained from conventional source.
In this converter using two different input sources like as input
source1 fuel cell and input source2 battery. Input source fuel
acts as primary source and second input source battery or
Energy Storage System (ESS) act as a secondary input device.
The output step-up voltage or dc output voltage is 120V then
the dc output voltage is divided into different dcoutput by
using buck converter circuit. The converter is defined in two
unusual modes of operations such as charging and
discharging. The converter operations are controlled by
using PI-Controller. The main advantages of these techniques
are using renewable-energy sources.
Keywords: DC-DC Converter, ESS-Energy Storage System

I. INTRODUCTION
There two important causes affected in the developed and
developing countries. One is population was increasing day by
day and same time energy requirement also rapidly varies in
upwards. When two causes were increasing the power demand
is occur in the country. To avoid these problems introduced
the renewable energy sources are added in the main sources.
The renewable - sources are wind energy, Solar, Bio-gas, etc.
In many of application require the number of inputs in these
situations to use the photolytic and other renewable sources.
Distribution network have more than one power sources are
interconnected to network. To satisfy the higher availability in
a power system is make the compounding power plant and
radiated power sources. In parallel connection of converters
are used to boost the one energy sources in a power system.
In Photovoltaic array (PVs) and wind turbines systems are
periodic energy sources; therefore, they are not stable. This
issue can overcome; renewable sources are either
interconnected with each other or fuel cells (FCs) and energy
storage systems (ESSs). Introduce the concept of multi input
converters (MCs) to integrate the many type of renewable
energy sources. The integrating input converter circuit
arrangements made by advantage of cost reduce, size
compressed, highly stable, control can be centralized. [1] [4].
All dc voltage inputs ports are most trustable to allow the dc
voltage in input side. The output can be divided into two ways:
Dc-Dc MCs and Dc-Ac MCs. Each of the input sources in dcdc converter is leads to price, size and losses. Multi-input dcdc converter mostly used in the hybrid power systems

techniques. Two important cases like isolated converter and

non isolated multilane dc-dc converters for different voltage
requirements.
To make electric isolation transformers, high frequency range
are used for isolated the impedance matching between two
sides of converter. In ecumenical, inductance leakage is occurs
in power storage of transferring the both sides. Inverter and
rectifier are in the high frequency transformers. The power
flow between secondary and primary voltages of transformer
is adjusting the phase shift angle. [8][10]. Isolated dc-dc
converter have many type of bridged circuit to used in
converter like half-bridge, full-bridge, boost half-bridge and
combinational of multiinput system [11][13]. Input side of
transformer needs the inverters for converting the dc ac
voltage and rectifiers function for conversion of ac-dc. The
input and output range more numbers of switches often the
increase of cost and losses. The causes of above point large
errors in the isolated Dc-Dc MCs output, in use of non isolated
multi-input converters in applications.
Improved non isolated Dc-Dc converter is H-Bridge structure.
The H-bridge is cascading the two bridges with different dc
voltages ports. Different voltage mode can be useful for
addition or subtraction of the actual voltage. Most of the
bridge output voltage is negative, these negative voltages are
not considered because, and they are bidirectional converters
are used in the paper. Minimum numbers of passive elements
are used in this converter, and its disadvantage is power
control drawn from input ports. In multi input has introduced
the dc-dc buck converter. This type of converter has a two
buck in the parallel to their inputs and another is series to each
input to safe guard in short circuit. Low power flow control
between input ports in proposed converter [15][17].In zsource converter structure is changed the passive elements like
inductors and capacitors is same structure in single input zsource converter [18]. Two inductor and capacitor is applied in
the proposed converter.

II. OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF MUTIPORT

SYSTEM
The block diagram of the Multiport Non-Isolated converter
system is shown in Fig.1. There are two input sources, one is
fuel cell and another one is battery. These are used to supply
the loads. Battery is used as energy storage system as a
secondary source. Fuel cell voltage is taken as 35V, battery
voltage is 48V. The two different source are given to the
multiport DC-DC converter .Its converter output may be
delivered to load areas. The controller unit should maintain
and control the voltage and interfacing with DC-DC converter.
Also, the voltage value measure using LCD display.

and R2, respectively.
Switching condition 2 (D3 T < t < D1 T):
In this switching condition 2, switch S1 is active high

diodes D1 and D2 is reverse biased conditions, so switch S4 is
low mode. In this switching condition 2, Vin1 charges through
the inductor L, so increase the inductor current. Capacitors C1
and C2 are discharged. Capacitors stored energy is delivered to
load resistances R1 and R2 respectively.
Switching condition 3 (D1T < t<D4 T):
In this switching condition 3, switch S1 is active low condition
and switch S3 is also low mode. Switch S4 is high of

C1 and resistor R1 can receive energy from inductor L;
automatically the current rating is decreased. In this condition,
C1is charged and C2 is discharged. Load resistance R2
received its stored energy from capacitor.
Switching condition 4 (D4T < t<T):
In this switching condition 4, all the three switches are active
low condition. So, diode D2 is forward biased conditions. The
energy discharged from inductor L. Discharged energy
delivers to capacitors C1, C2, and load resistances R1 and
R2.In this mode 4, capacitors C1 and C2 are charged.
