Online published on 14 May, 2018. Abstract Single source boost converter may not be able to give power continuously if generated voltage is less. Since PV power is not available all times, one or more sources are proposed to reduce the effect of this condition. This paper presents a hybrid photovoltaic and PMSG wind based multiport dc-dc converter with high voltage gain and single switch based power factor correction rectifier. Perturb and observe algorithm is used to extract maximum power from PV source. The proposed single switch boost rectifier for PMSG based wind energy system ensures power factor correction in order to eliminate reactive power or loss component in power of the system which totally improves the power quality of the system. Further the proposed multiport dc-dc converter shows lesser harmonics in the output which is confirmed by measuring total harmonics distortion of converter current, THD is less in the range of 4%. More than one source is used in proposed multi port dc-dc converter to continuously supply reliable power. The proposed multi port dc-dc converter is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment and results are presented to verify merits of proposed converter.
