Abstract
Input-series-output-parallel dc-dc converters are suited for high-input voltage and low output voltage applications. This letter presents a decentralized inverse-droop control for this configuration. Each module is self-contained and no central controller is needed; thus, improving the system modularity, reliability, and flexibility. With the proposed inverse-droop control, the output voltage reference rises as the load becomes heavy. Even though the input voltages are not used in the inverse-droop loop, the power sharing including input voltage sharing and output current sharing can still be well achieved. Besides, the output voltage regulation characteristic is not affected by the variation of input voltage. The operation principle is introduced, and stability of the strategy is also revealed based on small signal modeling. Finally, the experiment is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the control strategy.
