On the dynamic behavior of the current in the condenser of a boost converter controlled with ZAD

In this paper, an analytical and numerical study is conducted on the dynamics of the current in the condenser of a boost converter controlled with ZAD, using a pulse PWM to the symmetric center. A stability analysis of periodic 1T-orbits was made by the analytical calculation of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix of the dynamic system, where the presence of flip and Neimar–Sacker-type bifurcations was determined. The presence of chaos, which is controlled by ZAD and FPIC techniques, is shown from the analysis of Lyapunov exponents

Hysteretic Bifurcation Model of the Boost Converter

Steady-state responses of the boost converter by change of input voltage are experimentally identified. In a part of parameter space hysteretic behaviour of steady-state responses by varying input voltage in different tendency of change is noticed. Procedure for studying steady-state responses of the boost converter is proposed by using one-parameter and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams as simulation result. It is shown that the initial condition of bifurcation parameters affects steady-state responses inside hysteretic region. There is a variety of combinations of initial inductor current and initial capacitor voltage which cause particular steady-state. Therefore, hysteretic bifurcation model of the boost converter is proposed and verified by simulations and measurement outside hysteretic region

Stability analysis of nonlinear power electronics systems utilizing periodicity and introducing auxiliary state vector

Variable-structure piecewise-linear nonlinear dynamic feedback systems emerge frequently in power electronics. This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of these systems. Although it applies the usual well-known and widely used approach, namely, the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix of the Poincare/spl acute/ map function belonging to a fixed point of the system to ascertain the stability, this paper offers two contributions for simplification as well that utilize the periodicity of the structure or configuration sequence and apply an alternative simpler and faster method for the determination of the Jacobian matrix. The new method works with differences of state variables rather than derivatives of the Poincare/spl acute/ map function (PMF) and offers geometric interpretations for each step. The determination of the derivates of PMF is not needed. A key element is the introduction of the so-called auxiliary state vector for preserving the switching instant belonging to the periodic steady-state unchanged even after the small deviations of the system orbit around the fixed point. In addition, the application of the method is illustrated on a resonant dc-dc buck converter

Aspects of Bifurcation Theory for Piecewise-Smooth, Continuous Systems

Systems that are not smooth can undergo bifurcations that are forbidden in smooth systems. We review some of the phenomena that can occur for piecewise-smooth, continuous maps and flows when a fixed point or an equilibrium collides with a surface on which the system is not smooth. Much of our understanding of these cases relies on a reduction to piecewise linearity near the border-collision. We also review a number of codimension-two bifurcations in which nonlinearity is important.Comment: pdfLaTeX, 9 figure

Chaotic Behavior in a Switched Dynamical System

We present a numerical study of an example of piecewise linear systems that constitute a class of hybrid systems. Precisely, we study the chaotic dynamics of the voltage-mode controlled buck converter circuit in an open loop. By considering the voltage input as a bifurcation parameter, we observe that the obtained simulations show that the buck converter is prone to have subharmonic behavior and chaos. We also present the corresponding bifurcation diagram. Our modeling techniques are based on the new French native modeler and simulator for hybrid systems called Scicos (Scilab connected object simulator) which is a Scilab (scientific laboratory) package. The followed approach takes into account the hybrid nature of the circuit

Research on the Influence of Switching Frequency on Low-Frequency Oscillation in the Voltage-Controlled Buck-Boost Converter

The influence of switching frequency on the low-frequency oscillation in the voltage-controlled buck-boost converter is studied in this paper. Firstly, the mathematical model of this system is derived. And then, a glimpse at the influence of switching frequency on the low-frequency oscillation in this system by MATLAB/Simulink is given. The improved averaged model of the system is established, and the corresponding theoretical analysis is presented. It is found that the switching frequency has an important influence on the low-frequency oscillation in the system, that is, the low-frequency oscillation is easy to occur when the switching frequency is low. Finally, the effectiveness of the improved averaged model and the theoretical analysis are confirmed by circuit experiment

Two-parameter bifurcation analysis of the buck converter

This paper is concerned with the analysis of two-parameter bifurcation phenomena in the buck power converter. It is shown that the complex dynamics of the converter can be unfolded by considering higher codimension bifurcation points in two-parameter space. Specifically, standard smooth bifurcations are shown to merge with discontinuity-induced bifurcation (DIB) curves, giving rise to intricate bifurcation scenarios. The analytical results are compared with those obtained numerically, showing excellent agreement between the analytical predictions and the numerical observations. The existence of these two-parameter bifurcation phenomena involving DIBs and smooth bifurcations, predicted in [P. Kowalczyk et al., Internat. J. Bifur. Chaos Appl. Sci. Engrg., 16 (2006), pp. 601–629; A. Colombo and F. Dercole, SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst., submitted], is confirmed in this important class of systems.Postprint (published version
