Robust non-fragile control of DC-DC buck converter

The stability and dynamic performance of the system are impacted by the uncertainties present in the converter model and controller parameters. This paper introduces a robust non-fragile control approach that addresses the influence of these uncertainties. The approach involves developing a control law that achieves quadratic stabilization of the closed-loop system while also satisfying the H & INFIN; norm constraint for disturbance attenuation. Based on this concept, a robust non-fragile PI controller is designed explicitly for voltage mode control of a dc-dc buck converter. The effectiveness of the proposed control technique is evaluated from two perspectives: (i) its ability to withstand significant perturbations in plant parameters and load disturbances and (ii) its resilience in the presence of variations in controller parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is validated using simulation and experimental results.
