Power electronic DC/DC converters are primarily used in hybrid renewable energy systems having different V-I characteristics. In the past few years, a number of DC/DC converters have been proposed by the researchers for integration of different renewable sources. Each of these converters has their advantages and limitations as well as suitability for a particular multi-input source. The main aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of multiple inputs DC/DC converters using solar and wind energy sources. A comparison and discussion of different multi-input DC/DC converters used for integration of multiple input sources is provided. A comparative analysis based on the parameters such as cost, efficiency, design simplicity, output voltage, output power, output current and reliability, is portrayed in order to select the optimum multiple input DC/DC converter for a specific application in renewable energy system.
