Abstract

Designing system-level converters can be complicated. The interweaved intricacies of modular converters to achieve higher voltages while maintaining stable controls and magnetics design must be considered. While there are many difficulties to overcome, the magnetics tend to be the most uncomfortable for power electronics engineers to define in the converter design process due to the lack of direct transition from design and simulation to final hardware outcomes.
