Abstract

This paper deals with the internal model controller (IMC) - proportional integral (PI) controller for interleaved DC-DC single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC)-based power factor correction (PFC). The transfer function of the proposed converter exhibits seventh order dynamics with complex right hand plane (RHP) poles and zeros. IMC-based PI controller is used to achieve perfect control since it contains the internal model of the process implicitly or explicitly. The cascade control strategy is implemented for the proposed converter with IMC-based PI controller as inner current and outer voltage controller. The dynamic and steady state performance parameters of the proposed scheme are evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme offers excellent stability characteristics, robustness, faster set point tracking and disturbance rejection for various uncertainties in the process as compared to conventional PI controller.
