In recent years, there has been a fast growth in wind energy conversion system (WECS). There are two general types of wind turbines in WECS: fixed speed wind turbines and varying speed wind turbines.Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is one of the most attractive generators for the varying speed turbine WECS.In this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control the current source ...

A novel integrated buck-flyback non isolated power factor (PF) correction (PFC) converter is proposed in this paper. This new converter is an inherent integration of a buck converter and a flyback converter, which operates in either flyback mode or buck mode according to whether the input voltage is lower or higher than the output voltage. In this way, the dead zones of ac input current in trad...

This work presents a new control method to track the maximum power point of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. A backstepping controller is designed to be applied to a buck-boost DC-DC converter in order to achieve an optimal PV array output voltage. This nonlinear control is based on Lyapunov functions assuring the local stability of the system. Control reference voltages are initially...

This application report presents a TMS320F280x based digital control design and implementation of a high frequency dc-dc switching power supply. Starting with a dc-dc buck converter and a given set of performance specifications, different control blocks and parameters, used as in the analog control design approach, are reviewed prior to the control design in digital domain. The control loop is ...

This paper describes complete design and implementation of a digital controller for a high-frequency switching power supply. Guidelines for the minimum required resolution of the analog-to-digital converter, the pulse-width modulator, and the fixed-point computational unit are derived. A design example based on a buck converter operating at the switching frequency of 1MHz is presented. The cont...

The novelty of this paper is a hybrid approach for modeling and implementing a real-time control strategy of a dc Servomotor angular speed by using a sliding mode control module. The sliding mode controller is embedded in an open-loop control system structure with a dc Buck converter to stabilize and regulate the converter output voltage, despite the load current changes and unregulated power s...

Different types of controlling methods are used in switched mode dc-dc converters and the controller which is simple and of low cost is always in demand. The different controllers used are PI controller, PID controller and Fuzzy logic controller. PI and PID controllers do not give good performance in non linear conditions. Fuzzy logic controller is a non linear controller which do not need exac...

This paper presents the averaging model of a buck converter derived from the generalized state-space averaging method. The sliding mode control is used to regulate the output voltage of the converter and taken into account in the model. The proposed model requires the fast computational time compared with those of the full topology model. The intensive time-domain simulations via the exact topo...

Nonlinear phenomena in closed-loop pulsewidth modulation (PWM) dc/dc converters have been reported recently. In this paper, we investigate experimentally these phenomena in a voltage-mode controlled buck converter operating in continuous-conduction mode. In particular, the complex behavior of a voltage feedback buck converter is studied for wide variation of input voltage and different load res...
