    Abstract: A power converter and a method of operating the same is described, for use in a power conversion system that is capable of receiving power from various sources, including renewable sources, for delivering power to a load. Power type detection circuitry is provided for identifying the type of power source at the input of each power detector, based on attributes of the time-varying power received. The power converter is constructed of a boost stage followed by a galvanically isolated DC-DC converter stage. If a renewable input power source is detected, the boost stage is controlled to operate at a maximum power point, and the DC-DC converter stage is operated in an open loop manner when load exceeds available power at input. The load falls below available input power, the boost stage is controlled to regulate its output voltage and DC-DC converter stage is also placed under closed loop control. If the AC grid is detected as the input power source, the boost stage is controlled to attain maximum power factor, and the DC-DC converter stage is placed under feedback control of the output voltage.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for improving load transient response in power conversion systems are provided herein. The system includes a primary stage and a secondary stage, an isolation barrier electrically isolating the primary stage and the secondary stage, and a primary stage controller positioned in the primary stage. The primary stage controller is configured to adjust a step-up converter reference voltage based on a load current signal indicative of a load transient. The load current signal is transmitted from the secondary stage.

    Abstract: Power converter circuitry for converting power from a power source of any one of a number of power source types, and in which arcing at relays in the event of a shutdown is avoided. A shunt circuit is provided in inrush and protection circuitry of the power converter, the circuit including a power field-effect transistor and optionally a series-connected relay. The shunt circuit is controlled to divert current from the main relay in the event of a rectifier fault, allowing the main relay to be opened under reduced or zero current. The field-effect transistor of the shunt circuit can then be safely opened, allowing its series relay to be opened under zero current conditions.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for current sharing using interleaved LLC power converters are described herein. The method provides for current sharing between a first LLC power converter interleaved with a second LLC power converter. The method includes determining an expected output voltage for at least one of the first and second LLC power converters and measuring an output voltage of at least one of the first and second LLC power converters. The method also includes increasing a dead-time of at least one of the first and second LLC power converters when the measured output voltage exceeds the expected output voltage. Finally, the method includes interleaving the first and second LLC power converters, wherein an output current of the first LLC power converter is substantially equal to an output current of the second LLC power converter.
