Energy Source Integration with Storage Systems via a Multiport Converter

Microgrids represent an innovative approach to improving energy supply systems' resilience, efficiency and sustainability. Integrating multiple power sources is critical for this purpose, and bidirectional converters play a central role in this process by facilitating the transfer of power in any direction and the incorporation of multiple power inputs. This study examines the efficiency of a multiport converter, whose function is to aggregate various power sources and dynamically adapt the load distribution to optimise performance in real time. Meticulous optimisation of the multiport converter efficiency and load control mechanisms significantly reduce the voltage on the primary grid.
