Novel topologies of power converters for renewable energy systems

The renewable energy systems, same as other electrical systems require power converters to convert the input power to an appropriate output power for either AC or DC loads. The existing power converters may have some limitations that necessitate further study in the field to improve new power converters with customized features. This research proposes four new topological structures of power converters along with their theoretical analysis, simulation, and laboratory implementation. The proposed converters own some great features such as high efficiency and lower cost and size that make them suitable for renewable energy systems such as wind turbines, fuel cells, and photovoltaic arrays.
