【 摘 要 】

Multiple module dc-dc converters show promise in meeting the increasing demands on ef-ficiency and performance of energy conversion systems. In order to increase reliability,maintainability, and expandability, a modular approach in converter design is often desired.This thesis proposes local control of multiple module converters as an alternative to usinga central controller or master controller. A power ratings-based load sharing scheme thatallows for uniform and non-uniform sharing is introduced. Focus is given to an input series,output parallel (ISOP) configuration and modules with a push-pull topology. Sensorlesscurrent mode (SCM) control is digitally implemented on separate controllers for each of themodules. The benefits of interleaving the switching signals of the distributed modules ispresented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate stable, ratings-based sharingin an ISOP converter with a high conversion ratio for both uniform and non-uniform loadsharing cases.
