Traditional high-power centralized front-end DC/DC converter can be replaced with an array of paralleled standardized DC/DC transformer (DCX) modules when load current sharing is accomplished between individual modules. In this study, an LLC resonant converter is proposed as an unregulated DCX module, which has current sharing capability. Current sharing feature is implemented by using the droop current sharing method. A methodical design process is presented for the selection of the resonant tank components. A 500kHz, 100W LLC DCX module having 360-410V input and 12.5-12.1V output is designed and tested. Current sharing performance of the proposed module is demonstrated using a two-module array 200W front-end DC/DC converter.

Alemdar, Öztürk Şahin; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
A traditional high-power front-end DC-DC converter can be replaced with an array of paralleled standardized converter modules when modular design is applied. Modular front-end DC-DC converters represent many desirable properties such as expandability of output power capacity, redundancy implementation, simplified thermal management, and reduced design cost. However, in order to benefit from modular design, load current sharing must be accomplished among the paralleled modules. In this thesis, an LLC resonan...

Duymaz, Erencan; Pourkeivannour, Siamak; Ceylan, Doğa; ŞAHİN, İLKER; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25)
Increasing renewable energy integration to grid requires inertial support to improve frequency stability of the power system. Inertial support of renewable energy systems requires hardware verification in order to test practical limitations and absence of dynamical grid simulators makes verification studies more challenging. In this study, a test rig which is composed of a DC motor, an AC synchronous generator and an external flywheel, is developed in order to provide a platform in which dynamic properties ...
