Control of SEPIC converter using neural network tuned PI controller

Abstract

SEPIC converter control using neural network tuned PI controller is investigated in this paper. SEPIC converter is an AC/DC to DC converter and is very useful for various applications. The performance of the neural network tuned PI controller is compared with that of PI controller for the SEPIC converter by doing simulation in MATLAB-SIMULINK. The performance of the above controllers is tested for getting wide ranges of output reference voltages. It is found that the performance of the neural network tuned PI controller is better than that of the PI controller.
