PV systems are penetrating the energy generation market rapidly and their output strongly
depends on environmental conditions. To maximize the energy yield, the utilization of power …

Two-stage photovoltaic (PV) configurations have become increasingly popular due to the
decoupling between the inverter dc-link voltage and the PV voltage, adding flexibility to …

A novel noninverting boost-buck dc-dc converter topology is presented, applicable when
both sides of the converter need to have the same grounding. It is based on the back-to-back …

This paper presents a cascoded configuration combining a fuel cell (FC), a battery, and an
ultracapacitor module (UCM) to create a hybrid power system. A cascoded configuration is …

This letter proposes a novel step-up/down series-connected partial power converter (S-PPC)
for string photovoltaic (PV) applications. The proposed bidirectional two-switch forward …

The converter efficiency defines the overall efficiency of a renewable energy system. In a full
power converter, its components process the whole input power, even if it is not mandatory …

The partial power processing (PPP) concept has been extensively employed in many two-
port converters to achieve high efficiency and high-power density by modifying one of the …

This paper presents a high-efficiency multicascoded hybrid power system for high-voltage
application. For a cascoded configuration, the source is serially connected to the output …

The powertrain of electric vehicles in the market has a problem in that its performance
degrades because of fluctuations in battery voltage. In order to solve this problem, this paper …

The single stage architecture is often preferred to realize grid connected Photo-Voltaic
generators for residential applications. In fact, by halving the power processing steps, the …
