Design and Optimization of a PIR Controller for Voltage Regulation in a Synchronous Boost Converter

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2023.075

Resumen: This paper proposes a proportional-integral-retarded (PIR) controller for a synchronous boost converter to ensure its reliable operation during voltage regulation. The PIR controller is based on the addition of a time-delay as a design parameter. In this approach, we analyze the spectral properties of the closed-loop system and establish a tuning rule that optimizes its dynamic response, thus maximizing the exponential decay rate for the system’s solutions. Inspired by the application field of renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic and fuel-cell systems, we validate the significance of our results via numerical simulations and show that incorporating delays as design parameters improves relative stability margins.
