The voltage controlled buck converter by constant-frequency pulse-width modulation in continuous conduction mode gives rise to a variety of nonlinear behaviors depending on the circuit parameters values, which complicate their analysis and control. In this paper, a description of the DC/DC buck converter and an overview of some of its chaotic dynamics is presented. A solution based on the optimized PID controller is suggested to eliminate the observed nonlinear phenomena and to enhance the dynamics of the converter. The parameters of the controller are optimized with the Spotted Hyena Optimizer (SHO) which uses the sum of the error between the reference voltage and the output voltage as well as the error between the values of the inductor current in every switch opening instant to determine the fitness of each solution. The simulations results in MATLAB proved the efficiency of the proposed solution.
DC/DC converters are wealthy of nonlinear phenomena that appear when the converter parameters are subject to perturbation or variation. The converter may exhibit bifurcation from behavior to another, quasi periodic and chaotic responses. In such cases, it is difficult and even impossible to analyze, to predict and to control the converter behavior. This paper gives a description of a DC/DC converter and shows their desirable and undesirable behaviors; then a solution, based on type-2 fuzzy logic controller, is proposed to eliminate the undesirable behaviors and to enhance the converter dynamics.
