Bidirectional Tracking Robust Controls for a DCDC Buck Converter-DC Motor System

Abstract EN

Two differential flatness-based bidirectional tracking robust controls for a DC/DC Buck converter-DC motor system are designed.

To achieve such a bidirectional tracking, an inverter is used in the system.

First control considers the complete dynamics of the system, that is, it considers the DC/DC Buck converter-inverter-DC motor connection as a whole.

Whereas the second separates the dynamics of the Buck converter from the one of the inverter-DC motor, so that a hierarchical controller is generated.

The experimental implementation of both controls is performed via MATLAB-Simulink and a DS1104 board in a built prototype of the DC/DC Buck converter-inverter-DC motor connection.

Controls show a good performance even when system parameters are subjected to abrupt uncertainties.

Thus, robustness of such controls is verified.
