Abstract :
This paper gives an overview for the current control schemes used in the design of distributed power systems (DPS). Several control techniques are currently used to provide load current sharing among several parallel connected DC-to-DC converters. The droop control technique, average current, master-slave methods are reviewed in this paper. Finally, a block diagram with control functions for two parallel connected converters using central limit control is discussed
