DESCRIPTION:As power systems throughout the world continue to utilize DC in
 frastructure within distributed generation solutions and microgrid designs
 \, an effective DC-DC interfacing power electronic device must be develope
 d for managing power flow and power quality levels between a system’s in
 creasingly diversified array of sources and loads. DC-DC power electronic 
 interfaces are continuing to gain increased attention throughout many dist
 ribution applications\, including the information and communication techno
 logy (ICT)\, electric vehicle\, and renewable generation industries.\n\nTh
 e research effort described herein explores the use of a multi-port DC-DC 
 modular multilevel converter interfacing a dual-input connection of a 380 
 VDC system and a 42.9 VDC/ 40.7 A photovoltaic panel with a 96 VDC output 
 resistive load. Ultracapacitors are used to power-buffer the input signal 
 and in this application\, the inherently intermittent solar panel output. 
 This technology represents the merits of utilizing a singular interfacing 
 device to consolidate the flows between joint generation and load\, while 
 maintaining stable output power using a modular energy storage solution.\n
 \nThis work details the operation and control of the DC-DC converter and i
 ts module-interfaced power buffering solution\, and provides design method
 ologies for the system described.\n\nSpeaker(s): Alvaro Cardoza\, \, Alvar
