Abstract: In this paper, a new multi-port isolated SEPIC

converter is analyzed for integrating with the renewable

energy sources. This multi-port SEPIC converter

provides the highest energy efficiency by utilizing only a

single power stage. In this proposed structure, for input

side a combination of Pulsating Voltage Cells (PVC) and

Pulsating Voltage Source Cell (PVSC) are used. For

output side, Pulsating Voltage Load Cell (PVLC) is used.

Each PVSC connects with a common PVLC through a

coupling capacitor, forming a complete SEPIC structure.

It has two topologies, they are unidirectional and

bidirectional. Thus, the SEPIC converter reduces the

steady state error and maximum overshoot to zero. This

multi-port SEPIC converter treats the whole system as a

single-stage converter, and promises higher energy

efficiency.

1. Introduction

Nowadays the usage of power has increased day-by- day;

however, the source of power is inadequate. Many micro

sources such as batteries, fuel cells and PV [1-5], find

extensive application in the case of distributed

generation. Three-Port DC/DC converter is highly

suitable for standalone PV system applications. Three-

Port converter has advantages such as less component

count, lower cost, higher reliability and fewer conversion

stages [6][7]. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) scheme is

applied to the Three-Port converter based on power

relations among three ports. DC/DC converter works in

all operating modes and can easily switch between

dissimilar modes, so that it has extra advantages such as

high efficiency, higher flexibility, reliability and lower

cost [8]-[9]. InCuk and SEPIC converter, the input

current is continuous. While, in Buck-Boost converter the

input current is not continuous. This leads to an

advantage in better power factor. Another advantage of

SEPIC converter is that it has non-inverting output,

unlike, in Cuk converter and Buck-Boost converter. By

this configuration, two sources can supply the load

separately or simultaneously, depending on the

availability of the sources. The embedded nature of this

converter is that additional input filters are not required

or mandatory to filter out high frequency harmonics, as

CUK and SEPIC converters can filter out harmonic

contents in a better way and can produce efficient outputs

[10].A SEPIC converter for higher power and higher gain

application has been proposed in this paper. For

relatively higher power applications, people prefer the

use of interleaved Fly-back converter structures[1].The

Multi-port converter(MPC) is triggered by

interconnecting multiple PVCs through DLIs. [12].Power

is generated by using a few renewable resources such as

solar, wind and so on. [13].Traditionally, renewable

energy source is connected to the load through using DC-

DC converter. There are five main types of DC-DC

converters. They are: Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, Cuk and

SEPIC converter.[14].

The MPC is generated by interconnecting

multiple PVCs through DLIs. PVCs can be of input,

output and bidirectional type. As a result, a family of

unique MPCs including multi-input converters, and

bidirectional MPCs, are derived [15]. MPCs have

attracted research interest recently with the rapid

development of renewable power systems, electric

vehicles, and DC distribution power systems, where

multiple renewable sources, storages and loads are

connected together. Compared to the conventional

approach that employs multiple two-port (either

unidirectional or bidirectional) converters, a MPC treats

the whole system as a single-power converter and

promises higher energy efficiency by utilizing only a

single power stage [16]–[20].

This paper is organized as follows. In Section II,

topology are proposed in detail. In Section III, Steady

state analysis of Three-Port isolated Unidirectional

SEPIC converter were proposed. In Section IV three-

Port Bi-directional isolated SEPIC converter and small

ripple approximation of both the topologies were

proposed. In Section V simulation results are discussed in

detail in both the topologies.

2. Derivation of Three-Port Isolated SEPIC

Converter

2.1 Basic Idea for derivation of Multi-Port SEPIC

Converter

Many isolated Three-Port- DC-DC converters have been

presented with different control and modulation methods.

Some of them use only one inductor resulting in small

sizes and further improvement of the power density,

while others use two or three inductors. Since most of

these converters are derived based on the traditional

Boost, Buck, and Buck-Boost converters, the benefits of

these converters are limited. To overcome this limitation,

some Three-PortDC-DC converters.

Figure 1. Generalized diagram of n-ports SEPIC

converter

In the multiport method, a single controller is used

for multiple inputs and output ports. In this multi-port

DC-DC power converter, there will be fewer power

components, which implies that expense of the power

converter will be lower than that of the conventional

converter. Due to the presence of transformer in the

circuit electric confinement is accessible, which is

essential for safety. With the turn proportion of the

transformer in certain topologies, it will be more

effective to coordinate diverse renewable energy sources

of distinctive voltage levels.

2.2 SEPIC Converter

In SEPIC converter, when the pulse is high, the switch S

on the input voltage, charges the inductor L1, and the

capacitor C1 charges the inductor L2. The diode D is

reverse biased, and the capacitor C2maintains the output.

When the pulse is low, the switch S is off, the inductors

discharge through the diode to the load, and charges the

capacitors. Increase in duty cycle charges the inductor

longer, due to which more output voltage is available

across the load. The converter is assumed to be loss-less

with less switching ripples. The link between input and

output voltage can be obtained both in Continuous

Conduction Mode (CCM) and in Discontinuous

Conduction Mode (DCM). CCM is preferable for higher

efficiency and excellent utilization of passive

components and converter switches. Therefore, the

converter was designed to operate in CCM. For

continuous load current, the load voltage V0 can be

obtained from equation. no.1.

2.3 Three-Port Unidirectional SEPIC/SEPIC

Converter(Topology-1)

In this paper, four ports (two input ports and two output

ports) SEPIC/SEPIC isolated converters are proposed. In

topology 1, if both the sources are renewable dc source

for example solar PV and fuel cell (FC) then the

converter works as unidirectional converter as the energy

flows from sources to load. When its output inductor is

replaced by coupled inductors, further flexibility is

achieved in the multiple-input isolated single ended

primary inductor converter (MIISEPIC) thanks to its

wider voltage transfer ratio ranges. With the coupled-

inductors, an MIISEPIC can possibly generate a high

output voltage that matches the utility voltage level from

low voltage distributed generation systems.

Table.1 shows the comparison of components used

in proposed ‘n’ port isolated SEPIC/SEPIC multiport

converter and conventional multiple input port converter.

Here ‘n’ port refers to (n-1) number of source and one

output port.

D. Small Ripple Approximation of Multi-Port

SEPIC/SEPIC converter

As the parameters used in both three port unidirectional

SEPIC/SEPIC converter and three port bidirectional

SEPIC/SEPIC are same so only topology 1 is considered

for the calculation of those parameters. Here the current

ripples through the inductors are assumed to be 05 Amp

and the voltage ripples through the capacitors are

assumed to be 0.5 v.

From these assumptions the optimised values of L1. L2,

L, C1, C2, C have been calculated. Let us Consider three

modes (i.e. D1, Deff and DD) operating for t1, t2 and t3

period respectively.

Here assuming TDtDeffT,tT,Dt D3211 ===

In mode-1, the inductor L1current increases from a low

level to high level, say IL11 to IL12and in the next two

modes, and then it current falls from IL12 to IL11.So the

current ripple is considered to be L11L121L II∆I −=.

the inductors is 0.5 amp and ripple in the voltage across

the capacitor is 0.5v. Assuming D1=40%, D2=70%,

V1=25v, V2=15v the circuit parameters obtained are

shown in Table 2.

6. Simulations and Results

In three port unidirectional SEPIC/SEPIC converter the

sources 1 and 2 are of 25 V and 15 V respectively.

Switch 1 and switch 2 are given a pulse width of 40%

and & 70%. From the simulation the output voltage of 95

V is obtained is shown in the fig.30.The current and

voltages through the inductors and capacitors for sources

1 and 2 are shown in fig.29.In three port bidirectional

SEPIC/SEPIC convertersource1is 15 V and source2 is

battery voltage of 25 V with the state of charge of the

battery is 80%in the discharging condition. As the

voltage magnitude of battery is more than the

source1voltage the battery discharges. A constant output

voltage of 120 V is obtained for a duty cycle of 70%

shown in figure 30and31.

For the charging casesource1 is 25 V and the

voltage of battery is 15 V with the state of charge of the

battery is 20%. As the voltage magnitude of battery is

less than the supply voltage the battery charges. A

constant output voltage of 68 V is obtained for a duty

cycle of 70%. From the state of charge of the battery it

can be concluded that the battery is charging by the other

source shown in fig.32 and 33.

7. Conclusion

Multiple energy sources can be connected to the system

with a lot of flexibilities and compactness. Further

flexibility is achieved by connecting a battery system to

provide uninterrupted power supply. The charging and

discharging of the battery can be controlled, and the

system efficiency can be improved. The simulation

results have been provided to show the effectiveness of

the system and are compared with the results obtained

from the mathematical analysis.
