Abstract :
The paper describes a new agent-based, decentralized architecture and control for parallel dc-dc converters, supplying low and moderate power consumers in the range of 0-250 W. The system provides increased flexibility with autonomic system reconstruction capability in the case of misoperation or fault, significantly contributing to the increase of reliability. The distributed intelligence facilitates the optimization of the converters´ operation according to predefined criteria.
