Abstract
In this article, parallel interconnection of dc/dc converters is considered. For this topology of converters feeding a common load, it has been recently shown that dynamics related to voltage regulation can be completely separated from the current distribution without considering frequency separation arguments, which inevitably limits achievable performance. Within the Hamiltonian framework, this article shows that this separation between current distribution and voltage regulation is linked to the energy conservative quantities: the Casimir functions. Furthermore, a robust control law is given in this framework to get around the fact that the load might be unknown. In this article, we also ensure that the system converges to the optimal current repartition, without requiring explicit expression of the optimal locus. Finally, resulting control law efficiency is assessed through experimental results.
