Abstract

Multi-port power converter topologies are used to interface multiple terminals (source or load) using a single converter topology. In this paper, the possibility of using switch node of a power converter stage as interface to multiple output stages has been investigated. This interfacing of multiple outputs at the same switch node occurs using time-division multiplexing of the available input power. The multiplexing of input power into different ports occurs using a phenomenon that is denoted as ‘switched-boost action’ in the work and this concept has been illustrated using the boost converter topology. The proposed approach has been used to interface the boost-derived architectures to different types of outputs—ac, dc and isolated dc. The circuit operation has been validated using experimental results. These circuits have been proposed as possible candidates for nanogrid applications.
