Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose a multi-input power converter for the hybrid system in order to simplify the power system and reduce the cost. The proposed converter interfaces two unidirectional input ports and a bidirectional port for storage element in a unified structure. It also utilizes four power switches that are controlled independently with four different duty ratios. The renewable power system hybridizes PV and Wind as main source & Battery Power for backup energy source. Three different power operation modes are defined for the converter based on utilization state of the battery as follows: 1) An operation type wherein power is delivered to load from hybrid renewable energy sources; 2)A single type wherein only one renewable energy source supplies power to the load with battery discharging; 3) An operation type wherein power is delivered to load from renewable sources along with battery charging. A simple and cost effective control with DC-DC converter is used for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and hence maximum power is extracted from the source .The integration of the hybrid renewable power system is implemented and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK
