“…Because of the global problems of energy shortage and the impact of energy resources (coal, oil, and natural gas) on our environment, energy harvesting techniques have become one of the most interesting research areas [1,2]. By these techniques of energy harvesting, environmental energy can be extracted and converted into the desired form of energy for different applications [3].…”

“…Some examples of energy sources suitable for energy harvesting are solar, vibration, thermal, and bio-fuel sources. These energies can replace batteries to provide longer operation lifetime without the need for battery replacement under stringent situations [3]. For example, new implantable biosensors that are miniaturized in size and power consumption can be powered by an energy harvesting solution to avoid battery replacement [4].…”

This paper proposes a new Unified Switch Fault Diagnosis (UFD) approach for two-stage non-isolated DC-DC converters used in energy harvesting applications. The proposed UFD is compared with a switch fault diagnosis consisting of two separate fault detection algorithms, working in parallel for each converter. The proposed UFD is simpler than the two parallel fault diagnosis methods in realization. Moreover, it can detect both types of switch failures, open circuit and short circuit switch faults. It can also be used for any two-stage non-isolated DC-DC converters based on two single switch converters, no matter the converter circuits in each stage. Some selected simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) experimentation results confirm the validity and efficiency of the proposed UFD. Also, the proposed UFD is applied successfully for fault-tolerant operation of a buck/buck–boost two-stage converter with synchronous control and a redundant switch.
