Abstract
DC–DC converter, which is used to change and control voltage magnitude, is a really important part of the power electronic conditioning systems. Study of nonlinear dynamics and chaos in power electronics are becoming increasingly significant in the power quality and stability of distributed power generation systems. In this paper, the mechanisms that give rise to chaotic dynamical in the buck–boost power converter is studied. The Poincare map of a buck–boost converter system possesses the invariant manifolds having a delightfully complicated structure. Based on the Smale–Birkhoff homoclinic theorem, the structure of invariant manifolds of a fixed point indicates the presence of Smale horseshoe. The horseshoe map of the system is topologically conjugate with the shift map of the symbolic dynamics. The system can be identified with the Smale horseshoe by means of its symbolic descriptions. Furthermore, since the Smale horseshoe map implies sensitive dependence on the initial condition, homoclinic intersection of stable and unstable manifolds may be applied to illustrate the existence of chaos.
