This thesis entails the design of a multiple-input CUK dc-dc converter. The converter will be used to interface multiple power sources such as those obtained from renewable energy sources.This paperpresents a new system configuration which allows thetwo sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of theenergy sources. The inherent nature of this Cukconverter is that the additional input filters are not necessary tofilter out high frequency harmonics.
