Sensorless control for a class of power converters

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2025.058

Resumen: This article addresses the design of an observer-based controller for a generalized model of power converters, whose structure is a PCH system. The system structure is leveraged to design a controller, an observer, and their interconnection, as the proposed schemes preserve the structure. Additionally, the convergence proof of the proposed scheme is presented. Finally, to validate the results, a numerical evaluation is shown through a simulation of Boost converter.
