Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper investigates the open-circuit fault-tolerant strategy for interleaved boost converters via Filippov method. My comments are as follows:

1. The Abstract should be significantly revised to make it more concise.
2. The contributions should be further highlighted by comparing with other existing works at the end of the Section Introduction, since it is a little difficult to find the contributions of the proposed method.
3. It is suggested to add comparative simulations in the Section simulation to show the superiority of the proposed method.
4. The presentation should be significantlly improved.

I am thankful to the reviewer for the positive appreciation.

Reviewer 3 Report

The research direction of this work is meaningful. However, a number of points need clarifying and certain statements require further justification. There are given below:

1. The introduction part needs further improvement.
2. Section 3 and 4 do not contain any reference. The authors should mention proper references of the literature which were used to generate these equations.
3.  Add more explanation of the case study in the simulation part.
4. In the last, no comparison was given. The authors should add some detailed comparative studies for the effectiveness of the proposed work.
