Closed‐loop control and performance analysis of a high‐gain buck‐boost converter with optimized Type Ⅲ controller

摘要

This paper presents the design and development of an improved high-gain buck-boost converter (HGBBC) with optimized Type III controller suitable for power supplies in various electrical/electronics devices. The proposed HGBBC produces higher efficiency, exhibits better performance, is less bulky, and is compact in size. The voltage gain of the proposed HGBBC is the squared times the voltage gain of the conventional buck-boost converter (BBC). The polarity of source and load (output) voltages are the same (ie, noninverting polarity). This added advantage of the proposed converter allows it to operate the positive load voltage variation in a wider range even with small variation of duty cycle ratio of the power switches. Therefore, its application may be advantageous for electronics/electrical equipment. The proposed converter's validity is determined by its steady-state analysis, small-signal analysis, and closed loop control operation. A closed-loop controlled of HGBBC utilizing optimized Type III controller has been fabricated and tested in the laboratory. The comparative studies in terms of efficiency, dynamic response, and percentage ripple content of the proposed HGBBC and existing converters have been performed. From the results, it is seen that the proposed HGBBC is performed better than other existing quadratic types of BBCs.
