Abstract:
The unstable on and off state trajectories of a boost converter supplying a constant power load (CPL) are appropriately combined using sliding-mode control (SMC) with a suitable surface to yield a stable trajectory that reaches a specified equilibrium point. Selecting the optimum surface involves a comparative analysis among potential candidates in terms of stability, disturbance rejection, conduction losses and inrush current. The performance as switching function of polynomials of degree zero (non-zero constant), degree one (affine function) and degree 2 (quadratic function) are analyzed in depth to conclude that the affine function leads to the best static and dynamic results. The theoretical predictions are verified by means of simulations and measurements in a prototype.
