-The droop current sharing method is analyzed, and a general design procedure is proposed. It is shown that the current-sharing accuracy of N+1 power supplies is a function of the output-voltage set-point accuracy, the slope of the outputvoltage droop, and gains of the control loop. It was found that to achieve a current sharing accuracy of 10% the output voltage of the paralleled power supplies needs to be set within 0.35%. The accuracy of the design procedure was compared against measured results of three power supplies operating in parallel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
