Multi-modular boost haft bridge DC-DC converter in the configuration of input series output parallel has been investigated in this paper. The boost half bridge DC-DC converters are connected in input series output parallel con- figuration in order to achieve equal input voltage sharing and output current sharing between the con- verters. This can be achieved with the help of dynamic control scheme which consists of two loops, a voltage loop and a current loop, for each module. Dynamic behavior of multi-modular converter configuration has been observe by varying the load condition. Moreover, the results obtained through multi-modular converter describe that the system has good dynamic and steady state response. Al- though two converter modules are focused in this paper but it can be modified to any number of modules.展开更多

The input-parallel-output-parallel (IPOP) converter consists of multiple boost half bridge (BHB) DC-DC converter modules which are connected in par- allel at the input and output side. This kind of converter is an attractive solution for high power ap- plications. The correlation between input current sharing (ICS) and output current sharing (OCS) of the IPOP converter basic modules is described. Two loop control strategies, consisting of input cur- rent loop and output voltage loop, have been developed to achieve equal ICS and OCS in this present work. The control strategy for the IPOP configuration of boost haft bridge DC-DC converter has been verified for different load conditions (half load and full load), The IPOP system proposed here is comprising of two modules but it can be extended to three or more. The performance of the pro- posed system along with the control strategy is verified by simulation in MATLAB using Simpower tool. Finally the satisfactory simulation results are obtained.展开更多
