Proportional-type output voltage-tracking controller for interleaved DC/DC boost converter with performance recovery property (Q1720592)

Summary: This paper proposes an offset-free proportional-type output voltage-tracking algorithm embedding the disturbance observers (DOBs) for the \(N\)-phase interleaved DC/DC boost converter through a systematical multivariable approach. The contributions of this article fall into two parts. The first one is to design the first-order nonlinear DOBs for exponentially estimating the disturbances caused by the model-plant mismatches. The second one is to prove that the proposed proportional-type controller equipped with the DOBs guarantees the performance recovery property as well as the offset-free property. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through simulations and experiments using a \(3\)-kW four-phase interleaved DC/DC boost converter, comparing the proposed and feedback linearizing (FL) methods.
