Abstract: In the paper, artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed for providing the optimal operation of multiport DC-DC converter. Here, the proposed controller is utilised to achieve the simultaneous power management of multiple renewable energy sources, which can be of different types and capacities. The photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine generator (WTG) are considered as the sources and these are associated with the converter. The main objective of the paper is to achieve the simultaneous power management through the utilisation of multiport DC-DC converter with ANN controller. The input of the proposed controller is error voltage and the output is control pulses. The proposed method is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink platform and their performances are evaluated. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the base controller and PI controller. Then the efficiency of the converter is also determined to evaluate simultaneous power management of the converter.
