“…While the fuel cell operates at a low output voltage, the converter is required to transform the DC fuel cell stack power to output voltage-current requirements of the short-term energy storage and the other external power devices that connect to a fuel cell system. On the other hand, the converter filters the current drawn from the fuel cell stack to avoid fuel cell failure or degradation as in [1,8]. For simplicity, the other external power devices are taken as an equivalent resistance and the short-term energy storage is considered as a voltage source with an internal resistance.…”

Abstract-Multiport converters, a promising concept for hybrid power sources, have attracted increasing research interest recently. The use of a single power processing stage to interface multiple power inputs integrates power conversion for a hybrid power source. This structure removes redundant power stages that would exist in the conventional approach that uses multiple converters. The multiport structure is promising from the viewpoints of centralized control and compact packaging. The proposed basic bidirectional switching cells show several possibilities to construct a multiport converter. Several three-port topologies are discussed. Furthermore, based on the interleaving technology, topologies for higher power applications are also provided.

Micro-generators are devices installed in houses producing electricity at kilowatt level. These appliances can increase energy efficiency significantly, especially when their runtime is optimized. During power outages microgenerators can supply critical systems and decrease discomfort.In this paper a model of the domestic electricity infrastructure of a house is derived and first versions of algorithms for load/generation balancing during a power cut are developed. In this context a microCHP device, producing heat and electricity at the same time with a high efficiency, is used as micro-generator.The model and the algorithms are incorporated in a simulator, which is used to study the effect of the algorithms for load/generation balancing. The results show that with some extra hardware all appliances in a house can be supplied, however not always at the preferred time.
