Abstract

A DC to DC converter comprising building blocks removably connected to each other. Each block includes generic power-processing witching means with means for connecting their energy storage (51) elements in series or in parallel. The energy storage (51) elements each comprises a capacitor or a capacitor in series with an inductor. Each block includes generic power-processing switching means with means for connecting their energy storage elements (51) in series or in parallel, wherein the switching means comprise three power switches and the energy storage elements each comprise a capacitor. It includes control means for initiating a series connection for a time period of a series stroke wherein the storage elements are connected in series, or a parallel connection for a time period of a parallel stroke wherein the storage elements(51) are connected in parallel.
