This paper presents a potable renewable energy system. The portable renewable\nenergy power unit is designed from a need. The need is for first response\nteams in remote natural disaster situations to have a reliable source of energy\nto power a small vaccine refrigerator or water purification system and a basic\nsatellite communication system. It is important that such a need is explored as\na practical solution has the potential to save the lives of people in remote\nareas, who would otherwise suffer from a lack of humanitarian aid. Currently\ndiesel generators are the primary source of electricity generation for disaster\nresponders and in most situations work very well and provide a sufficient\namount of electricity to meet the power needs. However, in remote areas road\ninfrastructure is often damaged. In this type of situation getting a constant\nsupply of diesel to the area is an expensive or impractical operation. This is\nwhere the portable renewable energy power unit bridges the gap and allows a\nmore practical solution to be implemented. The specific aim of the work is to\ndesign a compact, stand-alone, product that can be easily transported by\npeople across uneven terrain. It can generate power from wind, solar and hydro\nenergy sources. In this work a new non-isolated multiport DC-DC converter\ntopology for a hybrid energy system in low power applications is proposed.\nThe new topology assimilates multiple renewable energy sources and\npower up multiple loads with different output levels. A complete Solid works\nmodel and FEA analysis, on required components, is completed. The scope of\nthe work encompasses both the electrical and mechanical design of the system.
