Load-current-sharing control for parallel operation of DC-to-DC converters

The control strategy for parallel operation of multiple converters is investigated. Analysis and design considerations of load-current sharing for the parallel system are presented and the superiority of current-balance control is discussed. The prominent features of the load-current sharing and analytical results are confirmed experimentally for a three-paralleled forward-converter system.<<ETX>>
