Abstract
This paper presents the implementation and experimental evaluation of a new current-sharing technique for paralleled power converters. This technique uses information naturally encoded in the switching ripple to achieve current sharing and requires no intercell connections for communicating this information. Practical implementation of the approach is addressed and an experimental evaluation, based on a three-cell prototype system, is also presented. It is shown that accurate and stable load sharing is obtained over a wide load range. Finally, an alternate implementation of this current-sharing technique is described and evaluated.
