DC to DC power converters and methods of controlling the same

摘要

A power generation system (10) configured to provide direct current (DC) power to a DC link (84) is described. The system includes a first power generation unit (22) configured to output DC power. The system also includes a first DC to DC converter (70) comprising an input section (90) and an output section (92). The output section of the first DC to DC converter is coupled in series with the first power generation unit. The first DC to DC converter is configured to process a first portion of the DC power output by the first power generation unit and to provide an unprocessed second portion of the DC power output of the first power generation unit to the output section.
