(Special Issue: Constantin Caratheodory) Impact of Weight Functions on Performance of Three-Input Integrated Dc-Dc Converter in H ∞ Control
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Many power electronic systems applications namely locomotives, hybrid electric vehicles, and all renewable energy sourced systems are shifting towards Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) integrated DC-DC converters due to their reliability and flexible nature. Designing controllers for MIMO integrated DC-DC converter is complicated due to its integrated structure, presence of common elements, and interactions between the input and output variables of the converter. In this work, a Three-Input Integrated DC-DC (TIID) converter is modeled using state-space analysis, and a Transfer Function Matrix (TFM) is acquired from the small signal continuous time model. A robust controller based on the loop shaping method is designed for the TIID converter. In this loop-shaping method, the desired robustness and the performance of the controller are represented with weight functions i.e., loop-shaping filters. These weight functions are designed using TFM and are frequency-dependent. The robustness of the controller depends on the weight function parameters. The effect of varying the parameters of the weight functions on system dynamics, robustness, and performance are studied and plotted. TIID converter of 288 W, 24V-30V-36V to 48 V is considered and the impact of weight function on closed-loop system dynamics and sensitivity characteristics under varying parameter conditions are analyzed in MATLAB Environment.
