Book Description
In this thesis, we investigate the development of novel control schemes for single and three phase boost converters operated in different modes of conduction. Study is conducted on development of controllers based on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the converters and characteristics such as nonminimum phase behavior in boost converters that give rise to control challenges. The control strategies are further applied to certain areas in sustainable energy systems including maximum power point tracking of photovoltaic panels, load current control of power converters, and energy regenerative suspension in vehicular systems. To this end, the analytical behavior of a boost converter is studied and utilized to design nonlinear controllers to control the input resistive behavior of the converter. The performance of proposed controllers are verified through simulations and experiments on single stage converters. Finally, the design of a feedback control system for input resistance control of a three-phase bidirectional converter is studied. A sliding mode controller is utilized in an application involving energy regeneration for a mechanical suspension system. A permanent magnet machine and a linear vibration generator are utilized along with the proposed control strategy to achieve regenerative damping in a proof-of-concept suspension system. The simulation and experimental results verify that the proposed controller can successfully provide desired damping for mechanical vibrations while storing the vibration energy in battery.

Book Description
Power electronics technology is still an emerging technology, and it has found its way into many applications, from renewable energy generation (i.e., wind power and solar power) to electrical vehicles (EVs), biomedical devices, and small appliances, such as laptop chargers. In the near future, electrical energy will be provided and handled by power electronics and consumed through power electronics; this not only will intensify the role of power electronics technology in power conversion processes, but also implies that power systems are undergoing a paradigm shift, from centralized distribution to distributed generation. Today, more than 1000 GW of renewable energy generation sources (photovoltaic (PV) and wind) have been installed, all of which are handled by power electronics technology. The main aim of this book is to highlight and address recent breakthroughs in the range of emerging applications in power electronics and in harmonic and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues at device and system levels as discussed in ‎robust and reliable power electronics technologies, including fault prognosis and diagnosis technique stability of grid-connected converters and ‎smart control of power electronics in devices, microgrids, and at system levels.

Book Description
Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters: Techniques and Implementation is perhaps the first in-depth account of how sliding mode controllers can be practically engineered to optimize control of power converters. A complete understanding of this process is timely and necessary, as the electronics industry moves toward the use of renewable energy sources and widely varying loads that can be adequately supported only by power converters using nonlinear controllers. Of the various advanced control methods used to handle the complex requirements of power conversion systems, sliding mode control (SMC) has been most widely investigated and proved to be a more feasible alternative than fuzzy and adaptive control for existing and future power converters. Bridging the gap between power electronics and control theory, this book employs a top-down instructional approach to discuss traditional and modern SMC techniques. Covering everything from equations to analog implantation, it: Provides a comprehensive general overview of SMC principles and methods Offers advanced readers a systematic exposition of the mathematical machineries and design principles relevant to construction of SMC, then introduces newer approaches Demonstrates the practical implementation and supporting design rules of SMC, based on analog circuits Promotes an appreciation of general nonlinear control by presenting it from a practical perspective and using familiar engineering terminology With specialized coverage of modeling and implementation that is useful to students and professionals in electrical and electronic engineering, this book clarifies SMC principles and their application to power converters. Making the material equally accessible to all readers, whether their background is in analog circuit design, power electronics, or control engineering, the authors—experienced researchers in their own right—elegantly and practically relate theory, application, and mathematical concepts and models to corresponding industrial targets.

Book Description
Power converters are electronic circuits for conversion, control and regulation of electric power for various applications, such as from tablet computers in milliwatts to electric power systems at megawatts range. There are three basic types of power converters: buck (output voltage less than the input voltage), boost (output voltage higher than the input voltage) and buck-boost converters. The reliability of the power converters has become an essential focus of industrial applications. This research presents modeling and control of DC/DC boost converter using several control methods, such as Proportional-Integral (PI), Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control, and nonlinear control concepts. Based on standard circuit laws, a mathematical model of the boost converter is derived which is expressed as a bilinear system. First a small signal model of the converter is derived to analyze the small deviations around the steady-state operating point which is used to develop closed loop control using the PI and the LQR methods. Simulation results show that the performance of the converter is good for operation around the operating state, however is unacceptable if there are large variations in the load or the reference input. To improve the performance of the closed loop system, the nonlinear control concept is used which shows excellent closed loop performance under large variations of load or setpoint. Comparative simulation results are presented for closed loop performance under various types of disturbances including random variations in load.

Book Description
The increase in the energy demands and high-performance systems has led to an increase in number power electronic devices. To achieve high efficiency, it has become necessary to explore more efficient control methods and techniques to meet modern quality standards and device specifications. This dissertation addresses issues in regards to the nonlinear phenomenon and nonlinear control techniques for switching power converters. This research address the issues with the following contribution. This dissertation first characterizes DC-DC converters targeting non-minimum phase systems with the change in sampling instant of the switch. Further, to validate the analysis experimentally, a practical frequency response function measurement device is implemented called as the Gain and Phase (GAP) measurement device. The GAP device has the ability to measure system response as a function of sampling time/sampling instant and is integrated with a graphical user interface which can be used to design a linear controller and measure important system parameters. Further, this dissertation explores efficient two nonlinear control algorithms. The proposed algorithms targets non-minimum phase DC-DC converters like the boost DC-DC converter. The boost converter intrinsically has unstable internal dynamics and is unstable when loaded with a nonlinear constant power load. The dissertation proposes a nonlinear control technique to stabilize the overall closed loop boost converter when loaded with constant power load. Further, the dissertation extends to another non-linear control technique for a boost converter for direct voltage regulation when loaded by resistive loads. Lastly, this dissertation proposed a higher resolution Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) based DPWM architecture to eliminate a nonlinear phenomenon called steady-state limit cycle oscillation (LCO) which commonly exist in digitally controlled SMPS. The proposed architecture addresses numerous application with numerous advantages.
