Abstract
The global energy evolution is at a critical juncture, necessitating an urgent transition towards clean and sustainable energy sources, notably green hydrogen, to combat climate change and the inevi-table depletion of fossil fuels. This transition is underscored by the emergence of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) as a promising solution for clean transportation, demanding advanced DC-DC power converter technologies to ensure their efficiency and reliability. This paper addresses the topic of control for the Quadratic Boost Converter, which presents a challenge due to its non-minimum phase characteristic and nonlinear nature. To tackle this, a nonlinear controller is developed using dual-loop control employing STA-SMC and Lyapunov theory as the control ap-proach. Simulation and experimental validation evaluate the controller's performance, testing ro-bustness against varying load currents and under time-varying reference voltages to assess its ef-fectiveness.
