Practicing design method of regulators for cascaded converters

Current trends in power distribution systems are focused on distributed architectures instead of centralized approach. Distributed architectures are more complex since a network of power electronic converters is required to distribute power with appropriate performance. Moreover, they are typically comprised of subsystems made up by a variety of manufacturers, which do not provide the data required to parameterize a model due to reasons of confidentiality. In this paper, a method to design power converter regulators for cascaded converters is proposed. The aim is to provide a practicing design criterion of the regulator that avoids complex power system measurements.
