Simulation study of double input z-source DC-to-DC converter

The recent trend in distributed power generation system is combination of one or more energy sources like solar and fuel cells also wind has been tied together. Attempt made in a double input dc-dc converter topology used to couple the energy sources using z-source converters. The z-network topology has its own unique features and capable of buck or boost operation depending on whether it is voltage or current fed drives. Analyze the various states of z-source dc-dc converter completed using computer simulation in Matlab/simulink Software. Simulated waveforms of resistive load voltage and currents and diodes currents are presented.
