General Purpose Power Electronic Converter

Create a control algorithm to integrate four each 15kW units to function as a continuous 60kW unit.

Background
The forward converter is a DC/DC converter that uses a transformer to increase or decrease the output voltage and provide galvanic isolation for the load. With multiple output windings, it is possible to provide both higher and lower voltage outputs simultaneously.

Design Goal
Create a control algorithm for an intergraded converter(consists of 4 individual converters).

Specifications
100W each converter 12-36V input, 24V output 4 converters total, DC-DC The intergraded converter should provide 400 W power, and the efficiency should be equal or higher than 94%.
