source is rigorously proven using ultimate boundedness theory. Asymptotic stability to the desired equilibrium for the closed-loop system is analytically guaranteed, and detailed conditions are derived to guide the control design. v In order to validate the effectiveness of the different control methodologies developed in this thesis, both simulation and experimental testing are performed for each one of the methods, and are also compared with the conventional approaches to highlight their superiority. vi xi 5.4 Simulation results of the system states of two parallel operated DC/DC boost converters under the proposed controller . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.5 Simulation results of the controller states of two parallel operated DC/DC boost converters under the proposed controller . . . . . . . . 5.6 DC microgrid configuration with n paralleled unidirectional DC/DC boost converters feeding a common generic load.
