ABSTRACT This paper presents a proof of concept of a reconfigurable non-isolated DC-DC converter for connecting different energy sources and loads in a DC microgrid. In this chapter, the. . This can be overcome by adding a boost converter with the MPPT control algorithm, which maintains the required DC voltage level for the AC grid inverter. Such a solution is preferred because of the continuous character of the input current. The single-phase source is coupled to a single-phase PFC boost converter, which enhances the input PF utilizing two feedback loops: outer voltage loop control and inner current loop. . This work was supported in part by the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Foundations of the Universe under Grant TK202 funded by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, and in part by the research was conducted using the research infrastructure “European Organisation for Nuclear Research”. . In order to reduce the economic costs, enhance the efficiency, and improve the structural stability of microgrids, this paper proposes a novel AC/DC hybrid microgrid structure.

Abstract - This paper provides a review of bidirectional DC–DC converters, focusing on sophisticated topological structures, dynamic modelling techniques, and effective control methodologies for electric mobility, renewable energy integration, and energy storage. . Bi-directional converters use the same power stage to transfer power in either directions in a power system. Helps reduce peak demand tariff. V2G needs “Bi-Directional” Power Flow. Apart from traditional application in dc motor drives, new applications of BDC include energy storage in renewable energy systems, fuel cell energy systems, hybrid electri ble for standalone operation as the sole source of power. Both charging and discharging of the EV batteries will thus efficiently be. .

Thus, the bidirectional DC-DC converter interface connecting DESs to the microgrid has two main objectives: (1) to control the direction and amount of power to and from the storage device and (2) to control the DC link. . es in various applications including microgrids. The DC-DC converter control is designed to control the DC bus voltage and the battery. . This work presents a multifunction converter structure that integrates a two-way power conversion method in grid-connected or independent DC/DC/AC/DC for microgrids. During grid-connected mode, these storage units are charged from various DG sources as well as the main grid.
