Abstract

This paper presents a novel control scheme for DCDC boost converter, maintaining the desirable voltage regulation performance under high load variation and large change of voltage reference. The model of converter is reformulated, in which the unknown equivalent load, input voltage, model uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics are lumped as external disturbance. The control strategy is designed with backstepping control technology, similar to the cascade control method in which the intermediate variable is introduced to fast respond the control demand, effectively dealing with the nonlinearity of the boost converter dynamics. The disturbance observers are established to estimate the lumped disturbances, rejecting disturbances and removing steady-state errors to improve the closed-loop performance. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy, backstepping control combined with disturbance observer, provides lots of advantages superior to the conventional PI control such as faster dynamic response and less output voltage drop.
