Multiport converters are the most reliable and integral component for latest renewable source integration with multiple inputs. This article is one among the kind, which proposes a novel Coupled Inductor based Four Port topology Multiport Converter (CI-FP-MPC) for integrating multiple PV sources with different voltages. The adoption of coupled inductor contributes an increased voltage gain with reduced stress on the switches and diodes.

This paper presents a methodology for integrating Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) using a Deep-Q-Network (DQN) agent into real-time experiments to achieve the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) of Photovoltaic (PV) systems under various environmental conditions. Conventional methods, such as the Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm, often become stuck at the Local Maximum Power Point (LMPP) and fail to reach the GMPP under Partial Shading Conditions (PSC). The main contribution of this work is the experimental validation of the DQN agent's implementation in a synchronous DC-DC Buck converter (step-down converter) un-der both uniform and PSC conditions.

This paper introduces the design and comprehensive performance evaluation of a novel Multi-Load and Multi-Source DC-DC converter tailored for electric vehicle (EV) power systems. The proposed converter integrates a primary battery power source with a secondary renewable energy source-specifically, solar energy-to enhance overall energy efficiency and reliability in EV applications. Unlike conventional multi-port converters that often suffer from cross-regulation issues and limited scalability, this converter ensures stable power distribution to various EV subsystems, including the motor, air conditioning unit, audio systems, and lighting.

This work proposes a high-efficiency High-Brightness LED (HB-LED) driver for Visible Light Communication (VLC) based on a Two-Input Buck (TIBuck) DC/DC converter. This solution not only outperforms previous approaches based on Buck DC/DC converters, but also simplifies previous proposals for VLC drivers that use the split power technique with two DC/DC converters: one is in charge of the communication tasks and the other controls the biasing of the HB-LED (i.e.
