This paper presents a novel approach for modeling Boost converters using the Caputo–Fabrizio (C-F) definition-based fractional-order model to address singular characteristics in fractional-order definitions and enhance model accuracy. A small signal modeling method is proposed to improve the accuracy of circuit parameter design and to derive state-averaged models, state-space equations, and transfer functions. The influence of capacitor and inductor orders on steady-state characteristics is analyzed and the influence of fractional-order on ripple characteristics is investigated through simulation. When the fractional-order approaches 1, the output voltage increases and the inductance current decreases, with waveform jitter mitigation. Moreover, boundary conditions for continuous conduction mode operation are established based on ripple characteristics. The numerical and circuit-oriented simulations verify the correctness of the proposed model. Finally, the orders and accurate parameters of capacitors and inductors based on the C-F definition are determined and the experiments are conducted. The comparison between the experimental and simulation results demonstrates that the proposed model can accurately describe the steady-state characteristics of the practical circuit systems, which further validates the accuracy of the proposed method.

The Caputo–Fabrizio (C–F) definition, which solves the singularity problem in the Caputo definition, has been preliminarily applied in the field of circuit system modeling. However, the complex characteristics of the C–F definition-based circuit systems are still understudied. Therefore, this paper proposes a C–F definition-based fractional-order RLC (CF-FORLC) circuit model and analyzes its basic characteristics. First, the effects of different component orders on the performance parameters including the impedance, quality factor, and bandwidth are analyzed, which gives insights into the design of CF-FORLC. Then, the analytical solutions and the frequency-domain characteristics of CF-FORLC with different capacitance and inductance orders under arbitrary input are derived. Finally, the data of actual circuits are fitted to obtain the parameters of the CF-FORLC model, and the orders of the C–F definition-based capacitors and inductors are estimated. The results of the comparative experiments show that the proposed modeling scheme can improve the consistency of the dynamic performance of the model with that of the actual circuit. In addition, the proposed CF-FORLC model shows higher accuracy and flexibility with more adjustable parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
