About

Andrew Stepanov is a researcher focused on advancing the integration of renewable energy into industrial power systems, with a particular emphasis on DC microgrids and power electronics. His most-cited work, "Galvanically isolated MPPT DC/DC converter for PV string tied to industrial DC microgrid" (2016), details the design and implementation of a maximum power point tracking converter for photovoltaic strings within a 600 VDC microgrid that simulates an industrial assembly line. This project aims to boost the energy efficiency of robotic manufacturing processes while seamlessly incorporating alternative energy sources. Stepanov’s contributions lie in addressing the technical challenges of galvanic isolation and power conversion in high-voltage DC environments, a critical step toward making industrial microgrids more reliable and sustainable. Though his citation count is modest, his work is foundational for researchers exploring the intersection of renewable energy and industrial automation, offering practical solutions for real-world microgrid deployment.
