Hello everybody,
I was wondering why multi-input DC-DC converters has not been developed yet in market, even though there have been several papers and patents to realize them? There are multi-output DC-DC converters currently available in market but this is not the case for multi-input converters.
For example, following papers have developed concept of multi-input converters:
F.Akar et al. IEEE Trans. Veh. Technol. 65, 7944 (2016)
A.Khaligh, US Patent No. 8,853,888 (2014)
N.D.Benavides and P.L.Chapman, IEEE Trans. Power Electron. 26, 1303 (2005)
