Interfacing Standalone Loads With Renewable Energy Source and Hybrid Energy Storage System Using a Dual Active Bridge Based Multi-Port Converte

the proposed approach enables the
MPC to regulate the load voltage while tracking the maximum
power point (MPP) of the RES and protecting the battery
from transients arising from variations in load and/or renewable
generation. The SC is used for tracking MPP so that the transient
changes in RES generation do not cause a sudden rise/fall in the
battery current. The employed MPC structure is designed in such
a way that most of the power processing takes place in one stage
only resulting in lower losses. The number of switches is reduced
by merging the power conversion stages, which helps in keeping
the cost low. Experimental results on a laboratory prototype
under various static and dynamic conditions are presented.
