A Sliding-Mode Duty-Ratio Controller For Dc/Dc Buck Converters With Constant Power Loads, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao, Daihyun Ha Jan 2014

A Sliding-Mode Duty-Ratio Controller For Dc/Dc Buck Converters With Constant Power Loads, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao, Daihyun Ha

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Incorporating a medium-voltage dc (MVDC) integrated power system is a goal for future surface combatants and submarines. In an MVDC shipboard power system, dc/dc converters are commonly employed to supply constant power to electric loads. These constant power loads have a characteristic of negative incremental impedance, which may cause system instability during disturbances if the system is not properly controlled. This paper proposes a sliding-mode duty-ratio controller (SMDC) for dc/dc buck converters with constant power loads. The proposed SMDC is able to stabilize the dc power systems over the entire operating range in the presence of significant variations in the …


A Third-Order Sliding-Mode Controller For Dcmc Converters With Constant Power Loads, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao Jan 2011

A Third-Order Sliding-Mode Controller For Dcmc Converters With Constant Power Loads, Yue Zhao, Wei Qiao

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Incorporating a medium-voltage DC (MVDC) integrated power system is a goal for future surface combatants and submarines. In a MVDC shipboard power system, DCIDC converters are commonly employed to supply constant power to electric loads. These constant-power loads have a characteristic of negative incremental impedance, which may cause system instability during disturbances if the system is not properly controlled. This paper proposes a third-order sliding-mode controller (SMC) for DCIDC buck converters with constant power loads. The SMC is able to stabilize the DC power systems over the entire operating range in the presence of significant variations in the load power …
