Abstract

Switching power converters bring a desired output magnitude using semiconductor devices. These switching converters are generally classified as voltage lift and super lift. The conventional lift converters such as buck, boost and buck–boost come under the category of voltage lift technique, in which the output voltage increases in arithmetic progression. The other lift approach that increases the output voltage in the geometric progression is the super-lift method. Nowadays super-lift converters find their role in various applications, because of their high gain and low ripple. The converter taken for analysis is a modified negative output super-lift Luo converter (MNOSLC). Current mode control (CMC) is employed to maintain a stable DC voltage at the load side. This is investigated using different types of controllers such as PI, fuzzy, sliding mode controller (SMC) and fuzzy SMC. The performance of these controllers is compared and it is found that fuzzy SMC results in better line and load regulation. A prototype is developed that validates the simulation results.
