Multi input and multi output converters are becoming popular because
they are cost effective and compact. This paper proposes a multi input multi
output converter for Grid-Solar power integration for uninterrupted power
supply. The proposed converter uses four winding transformer with two primary
windings and two secondary windings. The grid supply is connected to the first
winding of transformer through rectifier-inverter for controlled power
transfer. The solar energy is inverted and applied to the second winding of
primary. Two output ports are considered. The circuit is designed to get zero
current switching during turn-off and zero voltage switching during turn-on to
alleviate the switching losses. The simulation results for the proposed
configuration are presented in this paper.
