A Review of Voltage/Current Sharing Techniques for Series–Parallel-Connected Modular Power Conversion Systems

Recently, more occasions with high input voltage and/or high output voltage applications are emerging. However, the existing switching devices are limited by the voltage stress, e.g., the available maximum blocking voltage of insulated-gate bipolar transistors is 6.5 kV. Therefore, several methods are provided to solve this issue, including series connection of switches, multilevel converters, and modular series–parallel structures, where the modular series–parallel systems are the most popular choice due to the advantages of low cost, simple design process, high modularity, reliability, and redundancy. The main objective of series–parallel systems is to ensure the sharing of input/output voltage/current. Based on this, a comprehensive review on the available voltage/current sharing methods for series–parallel systems, which include input-series output-parallel, input-parallel output-series, and input-series output-series structures is provided in this article. Moreover, the relationships between the input voltage/current sharing and output voltage/current sharing of series–parallel systems are explained.
