Abstract
A new topology for multiple energy source conversion is presented. The topology is capable of interfacing sources of different voltage-current characteristics to a common load, while achieving a low part count. A fixed frequency switching strategy is investigated and the resulting operating modes are analyzed. The analysis is verified by experimentation. The results show that the converter is an enabling technology for power diversification and optimization.
