Systematic Nonlinear Controller Design for a Power Factor Corrector

A nonlinear controller for a power factor corrector is systematically constructed via Lyapunov-based controller design approach for the bilinear state averaged model. First, a nonlinear gain of the controller is derived to shape the source current and the output voltage be desired form respectively via nonlinear H∞ control system design approach. Second, a source current reference generator is constructed, which consists of a feedforward loop given by steady state analysis and a feedback loop with output voltage error amplifier. This paper, finally, shows efficiencies of the approach through computer simulations.
