This paper presents a new integrated (multiport) DC/DC converter for hydrogen buffer interfacing in renewable energy systems. In comparison with traditional solutions based on individual converters for interfacing of electrolyser and fuel cell the proposed topology features the reduced energy conversion stages. The paper analyzes and discusses the operating principle of a new converter. Several guidelines are presented for the new converter design. Finally, theoretical background was verified by the simulations.
