Renewable energy sources cannot provide load power continuously which is an important challenge in applying these sources. Therefore, usually several renewable sources; such as, solar cells and fuel cells are applied simultaneously. A converter can be applied for each source which results in high implementation cost. Therefore, multi input converters are used to reduce cost and volume of the system. In this paper, a new soft switching multi input converter is proposed. In this converter by applying one additional switch, soft switching is achieved for all main switches. The proposed converter is analyzed and design considerations are discussed.
