A Novel Nonisolated Four-Port Converter for Flexible DC Microgrid

In this paper, a new nonisolated four-port dc–dc converter is proposed for dc microgrid applications. The proposed converter offers a main feature of controlling the dc link voltage regardless of resources availability. By using four IGBT switches and only one diode, three different sources can be interfaced to a boosted dc link load. Different operation modes of
