Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive control to stabilize the output voltage of a DC–DC boost converter that feeds an unknown constant power load (CPL). The proposed controller employs passivity-based control (PBC), which assigns a desired system energy to compensate for the negative impedance that may be generated by a CPL. A proportional-integral (PI) action that maintains a passive output is added to the PBC to impose the desired damping and enhance disturbance rejection behavior, thus forming a PI+PBC control. In addition, the proposed controller includes two estimators, i.e., immersion and invariance (I&I), and disturbance observer (DO), in order to estimate CPL and supply voltage for the converter, respectively. These observers become the proposed controller for an adaptive, sensorless PI+PBC control. Phase portrait analysis and experimental results have validated the robustness and effectiveness of the adaptive proposed control approach. These results show that the proposed controller adequately regulates the output voltage of the DC–DC boost converter under variations of the input voltage and CPL simultaneously.
