ABSTRACT: In this work a design procedure of Power Electronic Converters (PECs) is proposed, which is based on system knowledge and systems theory. The proposed design procedure is composed by 4 stages and 10 steps and allows to obtain all PEC parameters and its control structure such that established system operating requirements are satisfied. In this proposed design procedure, system controllability is tested based on set theory in control. The main achievement of this design procedure is to allow the PEC design taking into account its inherent dynamical nature and with verified controllability, but without fixing any control structure. The proposed design procedure is applied to a Boost DCDC converter as illustrative example to show its applicability. Then, proposed procedure design is applied to a case of study: a Three-Leg Split-Capacitor Shunt Active Power Filter is successfully designed
