Abstract

This paper presents the dynamic modelling and small-signal analysis of a bridge-type multi-input DC converter designed for hybrid low-power systems. The converter architecture supports the integration of multiple energy sources such as fuel cells and photovoltaic (PV) arrays, enabling enhanced flexibility and reliability. A CUK-based configuration is employed to achieve continuous input current and reduced voltage stress across the switches. The dynamic behavior of the converter is analyzed through average large-signal and small-signal state-space modelling. Stability is assessed using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion, and steady-state analysis is carried out to support performance evaluation. Experimental results obtained from a 250 W prototype confirm the validity of the developed models and demonstrate the efficiency and suitability of the proposed converter for hybrid renewable energy systems.
