Periodic Time-Triggered Hybrid Control for DC–DC Converter Based on Switched Affine System Model
Wenjie Ma, Bo Zhang
Abstract
The introduction of the switched affine system opens new perspectives for the control design of dc–dc converters. In order to overcome the drawbacks of the continuous-time switching control methods, several sampled-data-based switching control approaches have been proposed in the literature. However, in these works, the solution of control parameters involves a nonlinear optimization problem. In addition, the designed switching laws are nonlinear functions about the system state, which require higher computational resources. In this article, a periodic time-triggered hybrid control is proposed based on a new design framework. All the design conditions are in linear matrix inequality formulations, which can be conveniently solved by common semidefinite programming software. Moreover, the proposed switching law is a linear function about the state, reducing the online computing burden. Finally, a unified view of the classical continuous-time switching scheme and the proposed method is established. Simulation and experiment tests on a buck–boost converter demonstrate the good performance of the proposed control strategy.
