Article Synopsis
  • - A new fault-tolerant and reconfigurable quadratic boost converter is introduced for DC microgrid applications, addressing the need for high-gain converters with improved reliability.
  • - The design features 2-level redundancy to handle faults in switches and capacitors, ensuring consistent voltage gain during normal operation and when reconfigured.
  • - Testing on a 1-kW hardware setup demonstrates that the converter maintains voltage gain while reducing voltage stress on capacitors in the reconfiguration mode, enhancing overall performance and reliability.
