A Unified Power Converter for Solar PV and Energy Storage in dc
In the smart-grid context, the adopted topology for the unified power converter must provide galvanic isolation and bidirectional power flow between the solar PV panels, BESS, and dc
Power electronic converters in microgrids use various topologies, according to different applications. Based on the input and output power, power electronic converters can be classified as DC/DC converters and DC/AC converters. DC/DC converters convert the input DC voltages and currents into controlled output DC voltages and currents.
Then, different topologies of the converters used in microgrids are discussed, including DC/DC converters, single-phase DC/AC converters, three-phase three-wire, and four-wire DC/AC converters. The remaining parts of this chapter focus on how to optimally design and control these converters with the emerging wide-bandgap semiconductors.
