The NESC commissioned NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to perform a study of high-power DC-DC converter topologies Why perform the study? • Several past contractor-led converter development programs have been plagued with development delays and cost overruns due to: • Poor initial design decisions • Complex requirements driving designs • Better inform government engineers about strengths and weaknesses of various topologies, learn about new topologies/design strategies. • Allow NASA to be better prepared for upcoming high power/high voltage power conversion systems work, such as Lunar and Martian surface missions, high power electric propulsion, as well as terrestrial systems, such as electrified aircraft. • Contractors often do not have the option to restart poor decisions – allows NASA to be better informed at the start of programs.
