In line with this, designing a unique DC-DC converter that supports to connect multiple renewable energy sources with isolation facility is attempted in this article. A well-defined power management scheme is adopted to ensure the required power delivery in the load using MPPT. In which, transient compensation technique is achieved with fewer solid-state power electronic devices. In order to validate this unique converter along with its subsystem components, a hardware set up is prepared and tested its performance. The results are evidenced that the overall efficiency of the system is superior than the other recent topologies.
