ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a DC/DC converter for use in a decentralized power generation system. If a DC/DC converter is physically separated from a power receiving component and connected to such a power receiving component via a DC bus, a short-circuit on the DC bus may endanger the system and service personnel. In order to minimize such a risk, it is proposed that the DC/DC converter comprises a converting component for DC/DC converting a direct current supplied by a power generating unit and for supplying a resulting converted direct current to a DC bus, and that the DC/DC converter comprises in addition a control component arranged to monitor a voltage at the outputs of the DC/DC converter and to cause the converting component to enter a short-circuit protection mode if the monitored voltage lies below a predetermined voltage threshold. The invention relates equally to a corresponding system and to a corresponding method.
