IMPROVEMENT OF POWER SUPPLY ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY BY EXTENSION OF CHAOS ANTICONTROL

摘要

Switch-mode power supplies usually emit electromagnetic interferences at the switching frequency and its harmonics. Inducing chaos in these systems has recently been suggested as a means of reducing these spectral emissions, yet at the expense of aggravating the overall magnitude of the ripple in the output voltage. We propose here a new nonlinear feedback control method, which induces chaos, and which is able at the same time to achieve low spectral emission and to maintain a small ripple in the output. The feasibility and usefulness of this new and simple method is shown here with a numerical example, which includes a comparison with the previous control method.
