Voltage Regulation in Second-Order Dc-Dc Converters Via the Inverse Optimal Control Design with Proportional-Integral Action
Abstract
This article addresses the problem regarding power regulation in classical DC-DC second-order converters by means of a nonlinear control technique based on inverse optimal control theory. There are few papers that describe inverse optimal control for DC-DC converters in the literature. Therefore, this study constitutes a contribution to the state of the art on nonlinear control techniques for DC-DC converters. In this vein, the main objective of this research was to implement inverse optimal control theory with integral action to the typical DC-DC conversion topologies for power regulation, regardless of the load variations and the application. The converter topologies analyzed were: (i) Buck; (ii) Boost; (iii) Buck-Boost; and (iv) Non-Inverting Buck-Boost. A dynamical model was proposed as a function of the state variable error, which helped to demonstrate that the inverse optimal control law with proportional-integral action implemented in the different converters ensures stability in each closed-loop operation via Lyapunov’s theorem. Numerical validations were carried out by means of simulations in the PSIM software, comparing the established control law, the passivity-based PI control law, and an open-loop control. As a conclusion, it was possible to determine that the proposed model is easier to implement and has a better dynamical behavior than the PI-PBC, ensuring asymptotic stability from the closed-loop control design.
