Analysis and Control of Integrated Dual-Boost Topology for Solar-Battery Integration

Distributed generation sources having stochastic power-output characteristics, e.g. solar panels, are preferred to be used in conjunction with storage to improve the availability of the overall system. This paper proposes an Integrated Dual-DC Boost converter topology (IDDBC) as a single-stage power electronic interface for solar battery integration into a dc distribution system. In the present work, the characteristics of proposed topology has been analysed and control scheme for the same proposed. The design aspects for converter topology has been addressed in the paper. The behavior of the topology has been validated using simulation.
