PI-Type Controllers and Σ–Δ Modulation for Saturated DC-DC Buck Power Converters

Abstract

Departing from analyzing a general input-saturated second-order system, a Lyapunov-based constructive procedure for the output-feedback stabilization of the constantly perturbed DC-DC buck power converter is presented. The proposed scheme also incorporates a Σ-∆ modulator. The obtained control scheme is developed in two parts: a proportional-integral-type family of algorithms devoted to regulating the uncertain system by using measurements of the output voltage and a Σ-∆ modulator dedicated to transforming the control action into a {0, 1} discrete-valued signal. This modulator is a kind of a sliding controller, which can be seen as a subsystem with an on-off output. This combination, the PI-type family of controllers and the Σ-∆ modulator, assures the global stability of the closed-loop system, even if parametric uncertainties are presented. The convergence analysis was carried out using Lyapunov's method. The theoretical results are confirmed using real-time experimental tests, which demonstrate the anti-windup scheme and the Σ-∆ modulator efficiency. The experiments consider the saturation of the control input and disturbances, having obtained convincing results.

A Review of End-Effector Research Based on Compliance Control

“…For example, Ramon et al [4] designed a passive control system and proposed a sensor-less control method based on the accurate tracking error dynamic passive output feedback (ETEDPOF) method for the angular velocity trajectory tracking of the "full-bridge Buck inverter-DC motor" system. Aguilar et al [5] proposed a Liapunov-based construction method for output feedback quenching of continuous regenerative DC-DC buck power converters and experimentally verified the anti-winding property and the efficiency of the "∑-∆" modulator of this scheme.…”

A novel exponential‐type anti‐windup method applied to the power converter in marine electrical propeller system

“…To improve the windup phenomenon, scholars worldwide have carried out anti-integral saturation methods (anti-windup) research, and the literature [15] has proposed a particle swarm optimization method based on particle swarm optimization to optimize the multistage anti-windup problem of linear systems; another report [16] applied the integral sliding film anti-windup controller to motor control and obtained a better control effect; and yet another report [17] incorporated a cellular neural network The above methods all rely on intelligent control algorithms to optimize the design of the controller, with a large amount of operations and long operation time, and when the ship is sailing in complex sea conditions, its frequent working conditions make it difficult for the intelligent algorithm to converge quickly and accurately to obtain the best control effect; a previous report [18] in the context of linear control used antiwindup including the conditional integration method and backcalculation method. The literature [19,20] used anti-windup controller in DC/DC circuits to achieve good control results. With a simple structure, easy implementation and good suppression of saturation phenomenon, this method is widely used in practical engineering, but it has the problems of poor robustness of the conditional integration method, and the performance of the inverse calculation method depends on the fixed inverse calculation parameters that cannot face the more complex working environment of the ship [21,22].…”

A Docking Mechanism Based on a Stewart Platform and Its Tracking Control Based on Information Fusion Algorithm

“…Among them, the ground vehicle achieves unmanned reconstruction and docking; the requirements for the structure of the control system and the hardware platform are as simple as possible; and the locking mechanism is connected to the active mechanism in the complex conditions [ 31 ]. In references [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], nonlinear problems such as space electromagnetic docking are studied. Feedback linearization and internal and external loop control strategies are applied to make the docking process smoother.…”
