Abstract

Due to the increasingly serious environmental problems, the application of renewable energy, especially solar photovoltaic, has achieved unprecedented development. The application of three-port DC-DC converters (TPC) in a solar photovoltaic power system has becoming more and more extensive. It can realize the combination of unidirectional and bidirectional de power conversions in the circuit structure with the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and flexible control. In recent years, a number of three-port DC-DC converters have been reported, each of which has different features, such as different number of components, different efficiencies, and different power density. After comparison of those up-to-date different three-port DC-DC converters, this paper describes and compares how the three-port DC-DC converter achieves high voltage gain and conversion efficiency for a wide range. This review can provide guidance and reference for the selection of topology and future research hotspots.
