Abstract
- Regulation of DC‐bus voltages is important for the stable operation of different applications, like microgrids and electric vehicles, and it is usually performed by charging/discharging (C/D) batteries. Such C/D system is formed by a power converter and a control system, and it is aimed at guaranteeing the system stability and extending the battery life. To extend the battery life, it is important to reduce the battery current ripples, which is usually performed with interleaved converters and nonlinear controllers; however, most of those controllers do not provide the design procedure nor guarantee the system stability. This paper proposes a nonlinear control strategy to regulate the voltage in a DC‐bus by C/D a battery through a two‐branch interleaved Boost converter. The proposed control strategy is formed by two sliding mode controllers (SMCs), where the first one regulates the DC‐bus voltage by acting on the first converter branch and the second SMC controls the current in the second branch. The reference of the second SMC is generated from the delayed current of the first branch, in order to coordinate the controllers and to reduce the ripples in the battery current. The paper includes a procedure to design the two SMCs as well as simulation and experimental results to validate the proposed solution and to illustrate its performance. The results prove the system stability and its dynamic performance according to the design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
