description: The global transition to renewable energy sources and electrification demands efficient power conversion systems for applications like hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and energy storage systems. This paper introduces a novel Multi-Port Bidirectional DC-DC/DC-AC Converter (MBPC) with high efficiency, compact design, and versatile functionality. The MBPC supports two input and two output ports, enabling energy flow between renewable energy sources, storage systems, and loads. Its efficiency exceeds 95%, with a power density of over 10W/cm2. The innovative design minimizes component count, reducing manufacturing costs by 30% compared to conventional converters. Extensive experimentation validates its ability to handle varying current-voltage profiles in multiple operational modes, including DC-DC and DC-AC conversions. With applications in grid-tied systems and electric vehicles, the MBPC addresses efficiency, cost, and flexibility challenges in modern power systems. This work contributes to advancing renewable energy integration and efficient electrification solutions. 2025 IEEE.
