A survey of multiport converters used in renewable energy

Multiport converters are a promising concept for use in renewable-energy and hybrid power sources. These converters are highly beneficial, as conversion can be carried out in a single stage even while interfaced with multiple input power sources (hybrid). This paper provides an introduction to multiport converters and a comparison with conventional converters. The application of multiport converters with reference to renewable-energy sources along with the advantages and disadvantages of both types of converters are analyzed.
