Abstract :
The Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) concept is to develop a general purpose power controller capable of performing numerous electrical conversion functions simply through software reconfiguration. It is also intended to facilitate greater modularity in power electronic systems. However, realization of PEBB systems is a non-trivial endeavor because of electromagnetic interference, thermal management, packaging, and technological barriers. In this paper, we present these barriers along with some solutions
