Analysis and Design of a Multiport Converter Using a Magnetic Coupling Inductor Technique

A novel multiport dc-dc converter with a coupling magnetic inductor is analyzed and designed. The proposed circuit integrates two multiphase converters and one isolated dc-dc converter. These converters can be controlled independently in one circuit by adjusting the duty ratio and phase angle difference. There are four dc ports in the circuit, and the dc power can be delivered multidirectionally among the four dc ports. In this paper, a 1.5-kW prototype of the multiport converter was constructed and successfully operated under full power. The experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis, and the conversion efficiency is above 90% over a wide range of output power. In addition, an example of a multifunctional power conversion system using the multiport converter is demonstrated.
