The bifurcation and chaos phenomena appeared in power system have become a focus subject at present. It has become apparent about a decade ago that power converters exhibit various types of non-linear behaviour which includes all kinds of bifurcations and chaos. Even basic DC/DC converters exhibit bifurcation and chaos phenomena as well as parallel-connected DC/DC converters and PFC system. The main source of such non-linearity is the switching mechanism of the converters. Non-linear components of the converter circuit and control scheme such as the use of naturally-sampled, constant-frequency PWM further contribute to the non-linear behaviour of converters such as a DC-to-DC buck converter. Thus, all feedback controlled power converters exhibit certain non-linear phenomena over a specific breadth of parameter values. Despite being commonly encountered by power electronics engineers, these non-linear phenomena are by and large not thoroughly understood by engineers. This paper examines the bifurcation behaviour of the buck converter in an ideal case when the input voltage is varied. The computer simulation scheme, PSPICE is employed to model the behaviour of the ideal buck converter. For certain values of the input voltage, Vin instability occurs. The analysis and conclusion presented in this paper will provide an overview of the bifurcation behaviour of the DC-to-DC buck converter, aspiring to draw attention of the power electronics and the circuits and systems communities to a field that is not often researched and examined.

Nonlinear circuits and systems research has been growing very quickl y over the past two decades. Activel y pursued in almost every branch of science and engineering, nonlinear systems theory luis found wide applications in a variety of practical engineering problems. Engineers, scientists and mathematicians have similarly advanced from the passive role of simpl y anal yzing, or identifying chaos to their present, active involvement in controlling chaos — control directed not onl y at suppression, but also at exploiting its enormous potential. We now stand at the threshold ofmajor advances in the control and synchronization of cluios for new applications across the range of engineering disciplines. All feedback controlled power converters exhibit certain non-linear phenomena over a specific breadth of parameter values. Despite being commonly encountered hy power electronics engineers, these non-linear phenomena are by and large not thoroughl y understood by engineers. Such phenomena remaining somewhat mysterious and hardl y ever been examined in a formal way. As the discipline of power electronics becomes more matured, demand for better functionality, dependability and performance of power electronics circuits will inevitably force researchers to engage themselves in more detailed stud y and analysis of non-linear phenomena and complex behaviour of power electronics converters. The bifurcation behaviour of the back converter occurs when the input voltage is varied. In this study, the computer simulation scheme, PSPICE is employed to model the behaviour of the ideal back converter. For certain values of the input voltage Vin instability occurs. The resonant parametric perturbation method is then applied to control the bifurcation behaviour of the voltage-mode controlled back converter. Analysis and simulations are presented to provide theoretical and practical evidence for the proposed control method. As the back converter has wide industrial application, it would be deemed necessary for designers to know about its bifurcation behaviour and how to control such behaviour.

In this article; we process DC-DC buck converter by linearizing control (non linear control INPUTOUTPUT). As one observes at the same time the inductor current not measurable by a linear state observer proposed. This method can control the system by varying the output voltages, input voltage and load resistance. The proposed method has a stable response capable of reaching the model reference smoothly.

The switched mode dc-dc converters are some of the most widely used power electronics circuits because of high conversion efficiency and flexible output voltage. Many methods have been developed for the control of dc-dc converters. This paper deals with design of controller for dc-dc buck converter using various control techniques. The first two control techniques are based on classical or linear control methods i.e. PI and PID control, while the other two control technique are based on non linear control method i.e. Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and Sliding Mode Proportional Integral Derivative Control (SMC-PID). The output voltage and the inductor current of the applied control techniques are analyzed and compared in transient and steady state region. Also the robustness of the buck converter system is tested for load changes and input voltage variations. Matlab/Simulink is used for the simulations. The detailed simulation results are presented, which compare the performance of the designed controllers for various cases. The results show that the non linear control for DC/DC Buck converter proves to be more robust than linear control especially when dynamic tests are applied.

Reliable and robust control of power converters is a key issue in the performance of numerous technological devices. In this paper we show a design technique for the control of a DC-DC buck converter with a switching technique that guarantees both good performance and global stability. We show that making use of the contraction theorem in the Jordan canonical form of the buck converter, it is possible to find a switching surface that guarantees stability but it is incapable of rejecting load perturbations. To overcome this, we expand the system to include the dynamics of the voltage error and we demonstrate that the same design procedure is not only able to stabilize the system to the desired operation point but also to reject load, input voltage, and reference voltage perturbations.

The control of power converters is difficult due to their non-linear nature and, hence, the quest for smart and efficient controllers is continuous and ongoing. Fractional-order controllers have demonstrated superior performance in power electronic systems in recent years. However, it is a challenge to attain optimal parameters of the fractional-order controller for such types of systems. This article describes the optimal design of a fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for a buck converter using the cohort intelligence (CI) optimization approach. The CI is an artificial intelligence-based socio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, which has been inspired by the behavior of a group of candidates called a cohort. The FOPID controller parameters are designed for the minimization of various performance indices, with more emphasis on the integral squared error (ISE) performance index. The FOPID controller shows faster transient and dynamic response characteristics in comparison to the conventional PID controller. Comparison of the proposed method with different optimization techniques like the GA, PSO, ABC, and SA shows good results in lesser computational time. Hence the CI method can be effectively used for the optimal tuning of FOPID controllers, as it gives comparable results to other optimization algorithms at a much faster rate. Such controllers can be optimized for multiple objectives and used in the control of various power converters giving rise to more efficient systems catering to the Industry 4.0 standards.
