Hybrid Modelling and Control of a Class of Power Converters With Triangular-Carrier PWM Inputs

In this paper, a new control design procedure for a class of power converters based on hybrid dynamical systems theory is presented. The continuous-time dynamics, as voltage and current signals, and discrete-time dynamics, as the on- off state of the switches, are captured with a hybrid model. This...

Description
Summary:In this paper, a new control design procedure for a class of power converters based on hybrid dynamical systems theory is presented. The continuous-time dynamics, as voltage and current signals, and discrete-time dynamics, as the on- off state of the switches, are captured with a hybrid model. This model avoids the use of averaged and approximated models and includes the PWM as well as the sample-and-hold mechanism, commonly used in the industry. Then, another simplified hybrid system, whose trajectories match with the original one, is selected to design the controller and to analyse stability properties. Finally, an estimation of the chattering in steady state of the voltage and current signals is provided. The results are validated through simulation and experiments.
