High-Power-Density DC-DC Converters in DC Microgrids (.PDF Download)

Read this article online.

Microgrids are essentially a network of loads and local power generations (distributed generations), along with energy storage systems.

The most efficient way to increase the use of renewable-energy sources, such as solar, wind, water, and various forms of biomass, is to make use of renewable energy systems in smart cities, villages, townships, etc., that have reasonably large populations of energy consumers.

This article will focus on high-power-density dc-dc converter architectures for dc microgrids. A variety of energy sources employed by dc microgrids need energy-storage systems (ESS) to stabilize grid systems.
