Since solar energy is affected by light intensity and time, it is unstable and unsustainable. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce energy storage units to balance system power in independent renewable power systems and provide energy to the load side. Traditional renewable energy power supply systems often require multiple independent converters to connect input sources, energy storage batteries and load ends, which makes the system have problems such as large volume and mass, high cost and poor reliability. The three-port converter is an ideal choice for connecting renewable energy, energy storage units and loads in new energy power generation systems. It has the advantages of small size, fewer components and unified energy flow management between ports, which can reduce the volume and mass of the system and reduce system losses.

[0003] However, existing non-isolated three-port converters have many problems, such as narrow converter operating range, strong port voltage constraints, or multi-stage conversion resulting in large converter size, low energy utilization efficiency, and parallel input structure leading to time-sharing power supply.
