Fast Adaptive Finite-Time Voltage Regulation Control Algorithm for a Buck Converter System

Abstract

A new voltage regulation control algorithm is designed for the buck-type dc-dc converter system in the presence of unknown input voltage and load variations. To enhance the voltage regulation time by using the finite-time control theory, a new fast voltage regulation control algorithm is designed that can guarantee that the output voltage converges to the reference voltage in a finite time. To address the unknown input voltage and load variations, two finite-time convergent observers are designed to estimate the unknown parameters in a finite time. Finally, an adaptive finite-time control algorithm is developed. Compared with the PI control algorithm, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a faster regulation performance and stronger performance on load-variation rejection.
