Abstract
In this paper, a new topology of a Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller is proposed to control a boost DC-DC converter with minimum over/undershoot. The fractional controller parameters are tuned using a genetic algorithm (GA) with a combined cost function composed of the Integral of Time-Weighted Absolute Error (ITAE) and the Integral of Time-Weighted Square Error (ITSE). Despite adding moderate complexity to the control structure, the simulation results reveal that the GA-based FOPID controller tuning provided better performance for the setpoint tracking both under load variations and parameters deviation due to the prolonged use. The proposed FOPID shows a wide operational range concerning load disturbances, and capacitance/inductance deviations of ±30% and ±50% from nominal values, achieving functionality and voltage stability even with output power 50% higher than the converter power specification. The assessment was made considering operation in voltage mode and the performance was compared to conventional Proportional-Integral (PI), Type II and current mode controllers. Finally, a fuzzy fractional-order PID (FFOPID) was designed to outperform the FOPID during disturbances in the control variable.
