Model-based synthesis of control for power electronic converters.

The paper discusses a methodology for model-based synthesis of power electron converter control using the MATLAB/ Simulink software environment. To illustrate the procedure, a specific example with synthesis of a Buck DC- DC converter controller is considered. The individual stages of the process and their respective implementation are indicated. A comparison of results obtained using a linearized and nonlinearized model is performed, thus proving the adequacy of the used model-based approach for control synthesis. Another advantage of the proposed methodology is that when working with it is not necessary to use complex mathematical formulas and in-depth knowledge of the theory of automatic control, which is largely a barrier to the training of students in power electronics. On the other hand, the approach allows the application of not only classical but also modern methods for control of power electronic converters based on artificial intelligence, neural networks, fuzzy logic and others.
