We developed a model-based fault detection and identification method for switching power converters using a class of generalized estimators, observers, and identifiers. The method can precisely diagnosis faults in converters with the ultimate aim of improving the reliability and resilience of microgrid applications.

We developed a dc microgrid architecture that provides a scalable solution for rural electrification. The calculated LCOE of the dc microgrid is substantially lower compared to presently deployed solar microgrid systems. Moreover, a proof-of-concept prototype validated the favorable improvements in performance, efficiency, and overall robustness.
