Multiport power converters MPCs have the unique feature of interfacing with multiple sources and loads which are nearby simultaneously and effectively They have found potential newer applications in such as hybrid energy systems electric transportation and portable electronic devices However there are concerns about their reliability as compared with conventional single input single output SISO and cascaded or paralleled converter structure due to sharing of the same components for multiple power flow paths within the converter circuit and associated higher component stresses In this paper six different boost converter derived topologies are selected and studied which include conventional and newer designs The converters are configured to operate for a standalone solar PV battery application which demonstrates five distinctive operation modes The reliability assessment is based on the MIL HBDK 217F Standard information and LTSpice simulation The analytical results have shown that while conventional cascaded design generally offers lower failure rates across the board some alternative designs may offer better MPC reliability
