An MPC Reference Governor Approach for Enhancing the Performance of Precompensated Boost DC–DC Converters
This article addresses the problem of enhancing the performance of boost DC⁻DC converters that are already compensated either in voltage-mode by a common proportional⁻integral⁻derivative (PID, Type III) primary controller or in current-mode with a two-loop PI control la...

| description | This article addresses the problem of enhancing the performance of boost DC⁻DC converters that are already compensated either in voltage-mode by a common proportional⁻integral⁻derivative (PID, Type III) primary controller or in current-mode with a two-loop PI control law. Improved performance may be obtained with the addition of a secondary controller/prefilter in the form of a reference governor. This complementary scheme adjusts the imposed voltage reference input signal dynamically and can be designed in an optimal fashion via the model predictive control (MPC) methodology. Our evaluation with numerical simulation in MATLAB suggests that this two-level controller can effectively enhance the performance of a DC⁻DC boost converter in a wide operating range without imposing extra requirements or limitations. A simple linear MPC design in explicit form is employed in this approach, which is computationally tractable for digital microprocessor implementation. This work paves the way for future research involving reference governor ideas in the area of bilinear power electronic converters. |
