Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tight regulation of the output voltage is often required in many power supply applications, despite the highly dynamic nature of the loads. This is conventionally obtained by the design of high bandwidth feedback loop or recently by using adaptive control methods. The control loop is designed with specified safe bandwidth and gain and phase margins such that it maintains stable operation under variable conditions and parameters. However, this results in a compromise between achievable dynamic performance and robustness of control loop. The large variations in operating points and load makes the system design challenging. The tight regulation requirements, in addition to size and weight requirements, are getting stricter by time, which makes it necessary to investigate new control concepts in order to meet these requirements. Not meeting the tight regulation requirements may result in either the malfunctioning of the device (load) being powered or the destruction of that device. This work focuses on the development and implementation of adaptive control methods that result in the improvement of the dynamic performance of power converter, by utilizing the flexibility of digital controllers to realize advanced control schemes. Four different methods are proposed that improve the dynamic performance of converter without compromising the steady-state performance. A Sensorless Adaptive Voltage Positioning (SLAVP) control scheme is proposed in Chapter 2, in order to realize Adaptive Voltage Positioning (AVP) control without the need for load or inductor current sensing and high-resolution high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) sampling. The SLAVP control law utilizes the readily available error signal of the conventional voltage-mode closed-loop compensated controller, or in other words the duty cycle of a DC-DC buck converter, in order to realize AVP control. The elimination of the need for high-speed and accurate sensing and sampling of currents using the proposed SLAVP control reduces the size and cost of the digital controller, reduces the power losses associated with current sensing and sampling, and simplifies hardware design, apart from improving dynamic performance. In Chapter 3, an Adaptive Digital PID (AD-PID) controller scheme is proposed. The controller adaptively adjusts the integral constant (K_i) and the proportional constant (K_p) of the compensator following a new control law. The control law is a function of the magnitude change in the error signal and its peak value during dynamic transients. The proposed AD-PID controller adaptively detects the peak value of the error signal which is a function of the transient nature and magnitude and utilize it in the control law such that no ocillations are generated as a result of the adaptive operation. As a result, the dynamic output voltage deviation and the settling time of the output voltage are reduced. A novel Compensator Error Observe and Modulate method (CEO & M) for online closed-loop-compensator auto-tuning of digital power controller is proposed in Chapter 4. The proposed method is relatively simple and does not require the knowledge and/or measurement of the power stage or closed-loop frequency response. Moreover, the proposed method does not depend on conventional design methods and the associated rule of thumb design criteria in order to tune closed-loop feedback controllers of power converter for high, and possibly optimum, dynamic performance. Furthermore, two approaches for dynamic variable switching frequency digital control scheme under dynamic transients are proposed in Chapter 5 in order to improve the dynamic performance of the DC-DC switching power converter. The proposed controller varies the switching frequency of the converter, higher or lower than the steady-state frequency, during the transient as a function of peak and magnitude of error signal depending on the amount and type of the transient. Finally, Chapter 6 summarizes this work and provides conclusions before discussing future related research direction.

This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to present some advanced control methodologies for power converters. Power electronic converters have become indispensable devices for plenty of industrial applications over the last decades. Composed by controllable power switches, they can be controlled by effective strategies to achieve desirable transient response and steady-state performance, to ensure the stability, reliability and safety of the system. The most popular control strategy of power converters is the linear proportional–integral–derivative series control which is adopted as industry standard. However, when there exist parameter changes, nonlinearities and load disturbances in the system, the performance of the controller will be significantly degraded. To overcome this problem, many advanced control methodologies and techniques have been developed to improve the converter performance. This book presents the research work on some advanced control methodologies for several types of power converters, including three-phase two-level AC/DC power converter, three-phase NPC AC/DC power converter, and DC/DC buck converter. The effectiveness and advantage of the proposed control strategies are verified via simulations and experiments. The content of this book can be divided into two parts. The first part focuses on disturbance observer-based control methods for power converters under investigation. The second part investigates intelligent control methods. These methodologies provide a framework for controller design, observer design, stability and performance analysis for the considered power converter systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters: Techniques and Implementation is perhaps the first in-depth account of how sliding mode controllers can be practically engineered to optimize control of power converters. A complete understanding of this process is timely and necessary, as the electronics industry moves toward the use of renewable energy sources and widely varying loads that can be adequately supported only by power converters using nonlinear controllers. Of the various advanced control methods used to handle the complex requirements of power conversion systems, sliding mode control (SMC) has been most widely investigated and proved to be a more feasible alternative than fuzzy and adaptive control for existing and future power converters. Bridging the gap between power electronics and control theory, this book employs a top-down instructional approach to discuss traditional and modern SMC techniques. Covering everything from equations to analog implantation, it: Provides a comprehensive general overview of SMC principles and methods Offers advanced readers a systematic exposition of the mathematical machineries and design principles relevant to construction of SMC, then introduces newer approaches Demonstrates the practical implementation and supporting design rules of SMC, based on analog circuits Promotes an appreciation of general nonlinear control by presenting it from a practical perspective and using familiar engineering terminology With specialized coverage of modeling and implementation that is useful to students and professionals in electrical and electronic engineering, this book clarifies SMC principles and their application to power converters. Making the material equally accessible to all readers, whether their background is in analog circuit design, power electronics, or control engineering, the authors—experienced researchers in their own right—elegantly and practically relate theory, application, and mathematical concepts and models to corresponding industrial targets.

Download or read book Adaptive Efficiency Optimization for Digitally Controlled DC DC Converters written by Wisam M. Al-Hoor and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design optimization of DC-DC converters requires the optimum selection of several parameters to achieve improved efficiency and performance. Some of these parameters are load dependent, line dependent, components dependent, and/or temperature dependent. Designing such parameters for a specific load, input and output, components, and temperature may improve single design point efficiency but will not result in maximum efficiency at different conditions, and will not guarantee improvement at that design point because of the components, temperature, and operating point variations. The ability of digital controllers to perform sophisticated algorithms makes it easy to apply adaptive control, where system parameters can be adaptively adjusted in response to system behavior in order to achieve better performance and stability. The use of adaptive control for power electronics is first applied with the Adaptive Frequency Optimization (AFO) method, which presents an auto-tuning adaptive digital controller with maximum efficiency point tracking to optimize DC-DC converter switching frequency. The AFO controller adjusts the DC-DC converter switching frequency while tracking the converter minimum input power point, under variable operating conditions, to find the optimum switching frequency that will result in minimum total loss and thus the maximum efficiency. Implementing variable switching frequencies in digital controllers introduces two main issues, namely, limit cycle oscillation and system instability. Dynamic Limit Cycle Algorithms (DLCA) is a dynamic technique tailored to improve system stability and to reduce limit cycle oscillation under variable switching frequency operation. The convergence speed and stability of AFO algorithm is further improved by presenting the analysis and design of a digital controller with adaptive auto-tuning algorithm that has a variable step size to track and detect the optimum switching frequency for a DC-DC converter. The Variable-Step-Size (VSS) algorithm is theoretically analyzed and developed based on buck DC-DC converter loss model and directed towered improving the convergence speed and accuracy of AFO adaptive loop by adjusting the converter switching frequency with variable step size. Finally, the efficiency of DC-DC converters is a function of several variables. Optimizing single variable alone may not result in maximum or global efficiency point. The issue of adjusting more than one variable at the same time is addressed by the Multivariable Adaptive digital Controller (MVAC). The MVAC is an adaptive method that continuously adjusts the DC-DC converter switching frequency and dead-time at the same time, while tracking the converter minimum input power, to find the maximum global efficiency point under variable conditions. In this research work, all adaptive methods were discussed, theoretically analyzed and its digital control algorithm along with experimental implementations were presented.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis shows the implementation of a novel control scheme DC-DC converter. The converter is a phase-shifted full-bridge PWM converter that is designed to operate as a front stage of a power conversion system where the input is a variable low voltage high current source. The converter is designed to step-up the low voltage input to an acceptable level that can be inverted to a 120/240 VAC 60Hz voltage for residential power. A DSP based adaptive control model is developed, taking into account line variations introduced by the input source while providing very good load dynamics for the converter in both discontinuous and continuous conduction modes. The adaptive controller is implemented using two voltage sensors that read the input and the output voltages of the converter. The controller's bandwidth is comparable to current mode control, without the need for an expensive current sensor, yet providing the noise immunity seen in voltage mode controllers. The intended input source was a fuel cell but in its absence a DC supply is utilized instead. The system is simulated for both discontinuous and continuous conduction modes and implemented and demonstrated for the continuous conduction mode. The test results are shown to match the simulation results very closely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DC-DC converters have many applications in the modern world. They provide the required power to the communication backbones, they are used in digital devices like laptops and cell phones, and they have widespread applications in electric cars, to just name a few. DC-DC converters require negative feedback to provide a suitable output voltage or current for the load. Obtaining a stable output voltage or current in presence of disturbances such as: input voltage changes and/or output load changes seems impossible without some form of control. This book tries to train the art of controller design for DC-DC converters. Chapter 1 introduces the DC-DC converters briefly. It is assumed that the reader has the basic knowledge of DC-DC converter (i.e., a basic course in power electronics). The reader learns the disadvantages of open loop control in Chapter 2. Simulation of DC-DC converters with the aid of Simulink® is discussed in this chapter as well. Extracting the dynamic models of DC-DC converters is studied in Chapter 3. We show how MATLAB® and a software named KUCA can be used to do the cumbersome and error-prone process of modeling automatically. Obtaining the transfer functions using PSIM® is studied as well. These days, softwares are an integral part of engineering sciences. Control engineering is not an exception by any means. Keeping this in mind, we design the controllers using MATLAB® in Chapter 4. Finally, references are provided at the end of each chapter to suggest more information for an interested reader. The intended audiencies for this book are practice engineers and academians.

Download or read book Dynamic Analysis of Switching Mode DC DC Converters written by Andre Kislovski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most critical part of the modern switching-mode power supply is the regulated dc/dc converter. Its dynamic behavior directly determines or influences four of the important characteristics of the power supply: • Stability of the feedback loop • Rejection of input-voltage ripple and the closely-related transient re sponse to input-voltage perturbation • Output impedance and the closely-related transient response to load perturbation • Compatibility with the input EMI filter Due to the complexity of the operation of the converter, predicting its dynamic behavior has not been easy. Without accurate prediction, and depending only on building the circuit and tinkering with it until the operation is satisfactory, the engineering cost can easily escalate and schedules can be missed. The situation is not much better when the circuit is built in the computer, using a general-purpose circuit-simulation program such as SPICE. (At the end of this book is a form for obtaining information on a computer program especially well suited for dynamic analysis of switching-mode power converters: DYANA, an acronym for "DYnamic ANAlysis. " DYANA is based on the method given in this book. ) The main goal of this book is to help the power-supply designer in the prediction of the dynamic behavior by providing user-friendly analytical tools, concrete results of already-made analyses, tabulated for easy application by the reader, and examples of how to apply the tools provided in the book.
