Performance Analysis of a Reconfigurable Fault‐Tolerant Converter for Renewable Energy–Based Standalone System
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper proposes a reconfigurable fault‐tolerant multiport converter for a renewable energy–based standalone system. The operation of the proposed converter for various single and multiple switch faults is discussed and verified with the help of a laboratory prototype. Experimental findings showcase the converter's ability to seamlessly connect renewable sources with a DC bus and an energy storage device, ensuring a consistent, regulated power supply despite single or multiple switch faults. Furthermore, a thorough examination of performance metrics including stress, loss, cost, sensitivity, and reliability affirms the effectiveness and resilience of the proposed approach. Comparative analysis solidifies the notion of the converter's superiority, emphasizing its fault tolerance, efficiency, and reliability when contrasted with alternative solutions.
