Status as February 23, 2006
• Presently operating and evaluating five parallel-connected power modules under closed loop control under BitBus control
• Operating with phase-shifted input PWM signals to increase effective switching frequency and reduce output ripple.
• Operating to a combined 100A of load current while monitoring individual power module output current and output ripple voltage. Observed nicely balanced currents in the power modules.
• Correlated load current sharing to the precision of match among the five phase-shifted PWM signals.
• Simulated a failure of one power module by disabling the PWM signal to one power module during five power module operation to 100A,. Observed a re-distribution of load current among the remaining four operating power modules. This indicates that the redundancy scheme is feasible.
• Confirmed the expected increase in output voltage ripple when one power module is disabled.
• The demonstration system is on a correct technical path, it is on budget and it is on schedule

Near-Term Next Steps
1. Operate four power modules in a three-out-of-four redundant configuration connected to an inductive load to provide a combined output of 150A. Upon the loss of one module the remaining three will each operate at their rated output of 50A. Monitor the transient current re-distribution among the power modules under these conditions.
2. Place four power modules into an environmentally-controlled temperature chamber (refer to the next slide). Connect them to an inductive load. Test the load current stability and power module current sharing versus time and temperature of the three-out-of-four configuration.
3. Upgrade the BitBus controller to an Ethernet controller
