Controller for balancing of current distribution in multi-channel converters

Abstract

In contrast to the generally used methods, software only solution of the controller for balancing of current distribution in multi-channel (interleaved) converters is proposed in the work. No additional measuring devices, e.g. current transducers, are necessary for proper operation of the converter. The controller constitutes part of a control system of wide-band power electronics current or voltage sources. The paper presents an idea and principles of work of such controller. Also, results of converter simulation model studies are presented.
