Abstract：In the renewable power system with two or more sources, the application of multiple-input converter (MIC) instead of using several single-input converters can simplify the circuit and reduce the cost of the power system. MIC can be categorized into two lists, MIC without buffer cells and MIC with buffer cells. A MIC with buffer cells is composed of pulsating source cell, buffer cell and output filter. In this paper, a new method for synthesizing MICs with buffer cells is proposed. The buffer cells are introduced in detail. For generating the MICs with buffer cells, the connecting rules between different cells are presented. As a result, a series of MICs with buffer cells are generated.
