In photovoltaic systems, dc-dc converters have been identified as one of the most critical and challenging subsystem in terms of failure rate. Thus, this paper proposes fault-tolerant operation of a two-stage buck/buck-boost converter under open-circuit switch failure. Remedial actions are efficient in any failure of one of the two switches of the converter. Here, a new unified approach is conside...
