Fractional-Order Modeling and Simulation of Magnetic Coupled Boost Converter in Continuous Conduction Mode

By using fractional-order calculus theory and considering the condition that capacitor and inductor are naturally fractional, we construct the fractional mathematical model of the magnetic coupled boost converter with tapped-inductor in the operation of continuous conduction mode (CCM). The fractional state average model of the magnetic coupled boost converter in CCM operation is built by exploiting state average modeling method. In these models, the effects of coupling factor, which is viewed as one generally, are directly pointed out. The DC component, the AC component, the transfer functions and the requirements of the magnetic coupled boost converter in CCM operation are obtained and investigated on the basis of the state averaged model as well as its fractional mathematical model. Using the modified Oustaloup's method for filter approximation algorithm, the derived models are simulated and compared using Matlab/Simulink. in order to further verify the fractional model, circuit simulation is implemented. Furthermore, the differences between the fractional-order mathematical models and the corresponding integer-order mathematical models are researched. Results of the model and circuit simulations validate the effectiveness of theoretical analysis.
