Real-Time Investigation of an Adaptive Fuzzy Synergetic Controller for a DC-DC Buck Converter

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy synergetic controller (AFSC) for a DC-DC converter is introduced. Two robust control techniques, synergetic control combined with fuzzy logic control, are utilized to produce a reliable DC-DC power supply. This is-realized by an indirect adaptive control of a DC-DC buck converter. To further enhance robustness, a nonlinear constraint, the equivalent of the sliding surface, is used to guarantee performance and stability for any operating condition. To ensure overall strength, closed-loop signals are bounded and the stability is guaranteed using the Lyapunov theory. Control parameters are optimized using a PSO algorithm to further enhance performances. The proposed controller (AFSC) is designed through a dSpace based experimental setup to provide robust DC-DC buck converter voltage control.
