Abstract

Demand for high-efficient isolated DC/DC converters to achieve energy transfer among renewable energy sources, energy storage elements, and loads is increasing because of renewable energies’ increasing market penetration. Traditional converters pose significant challenges due to the wide voltage range operation nature of these components. Interest in improving the power converters’ performances for renewable energy applications is growing rapidly. Researchers are exploring accurate analysis methods, optimal design, and novel control strategies to improve the power converters’ performance. These strategies can improve the converters’ performance without any modifications to the traditional hardware. In addition, design automations are drawing more and more attention. By introducing new control strategy, the converter performance over a wide voltage range can be significantly improved. Furthermore, novel topology is another effective approach to cover wide voltage gain range operation.
