In an electrical power supply having a plurality of switching power
converter circuits and configured to supply a voltage to an electrical
load, a method of controlling a duty cycle of at least one switch of one
of the plurality of switching power converter circuits includes
determining a storage voltage produced by the one of the plurality of
energy storage devices. The method further includes determining an
average storage voltage corresponding to an average of storage voltages
produced by each of the plurality of energy storage devices. The method
further includes determining at least one control signal as a function of
the storage voltage, the average storage voltage, and a reference
voltage. The method further includes controlling the duty cycle of the at
least one switch of the one of the plurality of switching power converter
circuits based upon the at least one control signal.
