The proposed power electronics converter interface integrates the converters to which the ports are connected with a battery coupled common dc busbar and high frequency transformer (HFT). Thus, the three-port converter is formed without any need for an additional converter to regulate battery power flow. In addition, to transfer power from a low voltage PV energy unit to the battery and load, a single switch DC-DC converter with high voltage gain is proposed. The power flow between the ports is controlled by an effective multi-loop control scheme that is able to perform a smooth transition between the loops. In order to validate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed MPC, a 3 kW proof-of-concept model has been developed with a 3 kW PV and 220 V 12 Ah battery. The performance of the proposed converter has been analyzed for different case studies, including dynamic operating and loading conditions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatteryphotovoltaicMultiport dc-dc converterswitched-capacitormulti-loop controllerArticle1043994381755
