A hybrid renewable energy system with more than one source like solar photovoltaic, wind energy, battery, and fuel cell increase the system’s reliability and flexibility. A suitable power electronic converter is required to integrate these sources and interface with the load simultaneously. Therefore, the paper’s main objective is to recommend a novel double input dc converter for a hybrid renewable energy system. This power electronic converter efficiently integrates the sources and supplies the load demand. The critical waveforms for various modes of operation of the proposed converter are discussed in detail and the output voltage equation is derived. The proposed double input converter has a simple structure and reduced components. The performance comparison with the currently reported converters in the literature is presented, and the double input converter is simulated and analysed using MATLAB/Simulink software. The theoretical analysis is validated through the simulation results of the designed double input dc converter for renewable energy application.
