Abstract-A synergetic control (SC) technique is applied to develop a new maximum power point tracking (MPPT)control strategy for stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems through measuring PV array outputs and changing DC/DC converter control signal's duty cycle. The closed loop system stability is guaranteed using Lyapunov's method. This control strategy is simple and robust to irradiance and temperature variations. Simulation results are compared to those obtained using Hill Climbing method and then served to test the control robustness of the developed system. High performances under environmental parameter variations have demonstrated synergetic control usefulness.

Abstract-The process for designing digital controls for power electronics is typically quite convoluted and affords many opportunities for errors to occur. We present here a new and complete method for rapid prototyping of digital controls that allows rapid realization of new designs. The approach uses a collection of tools that include both software (the virtual test bed (VTB) and Matlab/Simulink) and hardware (dSpace DSP). An example application of the methodology completes the discussion.Index Terms-Digital controls, dSpace DSP, power electronics, rapid prototyping, virtual test bed.

Abstract-This paper presents a synergetic controller for pulse current charging of advanced batteries from a fuel cell power source. Pulse current charging protocol that has been shown to have many advantages over the traditional constant current/constant voltage protocol is applied in a fuel cell powered battery-charging station to reduce the total charging time. Strong nonlinearity and dynamics exist in such systems. In this paper, the synergetic control approach is applied to regulate the buck converters that control the pulse charging currents to the many batteries. A practical synergetic controller to coordinate pulse current charging of the battery is synthesized and discussed. It provides asymptotic stability with respect to the required operating modes, invariance to load variations, and robustness to variation of the input and converter parameters. The synergetic controller is then implemented in Simulink. The dynamic characteristics of the synergetic controller are studied and compared with PI controller by conducting system simulation and experimental tests. Simulation and experiment results show the synergetic controller is robust for such nonlinear dynamic system and achieves better performance than the standard PI controller.
