Controlling the Ćuk Converter using Piecewise Linear Lyapunov Functions
This work addresses control design for power electronics converters, but appears incremental as it applies an existing method (piecewise linear Lyapunov functions) to a specific converter without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackled the problem of designing a switching control law for the Ćuk converter in continuous conduction mode using piecewise linear Lyapunov functions, with simulations provided to demonstrate the construction of these functions and their effect on system performance.
In this paper we design a switching control law for the Ćuk converter in the continuous conduction mode using piecewise linear Lyapunov functions. These Lyapunov functions can be constructed using different number of state variables affecting the system's performance. In the paper, some representative simulations covering construction of different piecewise Lyapunov functions, are provided.
