This paper addresses the complementary operation of parallel connected boost converters (PCBC) for high power applications considering wide spectrum of low voltage source conditions. The mutual sharing of load current between parallel connected converters is guaranteed by the appropriate placement of LC based passive equalization filter (LCEF) therefore offloading stress from individual converter and increasing efficiency and reliability drastically. To validate the performance of proposed topology in real-time scenarios, an experimental setup consisting of programmable source, electronic load, boost converters and filter circuit has been synthesized and studied in various operating conditions such as FC energy system based HP and LV application.
