This book presents a possible solution to enhance utility grid performance when unconventional loads are connected to the public network. This topology shows a combination of dc-link and magnetic-coupling structures, which allows the interconnection of multiple sources, storage devices, and loads without the penalty of extra conversion. The proposed general topology shows several possibilities to construct a multiport converter for electric vehicle applications and, due to its flexibility in structure, provides a solution to integrate a diverse class of sources and loads. In addition, the control and energy management of the converter can be implemented by a single processor. The centralized control eliminates complicated communication structures that would be necessary in the conventional topology based on separate conversion stages.
