Design and Analysis of a Novel DC-DC Converter Fed from Multiple Voltage Sources

A novel DC-DC converter is proposed in the work carried out powered from multiple sources. The power conversion circuit consists of less number of active power switches with associated passive components. By adjusting the duty-ratio of the active power switch, the power sharing between two power sources and proposed three sources; as well as the output voltage regulation can be made. The simulation and experimental results for conventional two sources and proposed three sources fed DC-DC converter are presented in this paper.
