1. Inclusion
In microgrid, various sources and loads with different electrical characteristics are connected together,
like solar panels, wind generators, batteries, fuel cells, utility grid and AC motors. Conventionally, several
converters are used with the common DC bus.

Utility grid
For energy generating devices, like fuel cell and solar panel, unidirectional DC-DC converters are necessary;
For utility grid and AC motor, bi-directional DC-AC converters are required;
For energy storage devices, like battery and super-capacitor, one needs bi-directional DC-DCconverters.

1. Inclusion
In order to integrate all the sources and loads and achieve high power conversion efficiency for microgrid
application, a compact multiport power converter with fewer components can be used to replace all the
converters with centralized control scheme which is easy to implement and protect.

In order to analyze multiport converter, two-port converter are investigated firstly. Then it is desired to
derive from two-port system to multi-port system. Here, non-isolated topologies are considered mainly.
