Evaluation of a FO-PID Controller in a Buck DC/DC Converter Model

Abstract

The applications of electrical energy converters are wide. It is a common device that can be found in almost every apparatus, both industrial and domestic. This work will deal with linear and nonlinear models of DC/DC converters. Those models will used to probe, by simulation, classic and advance controllers. PID controllers have shown a good response regulating DC/DC converters, for that reason the inclusion of two more degree of freedom due to the Integral and derivative of Fractional Order, could improve the performance of these controllers. Furthermore, Piecewise modeling can be useful to obtain adaptive controllers whose parameters change at different operational conditions.
