In solar photovoltaic (PV)-based DC microgrid systems, the voltage output of the classical DC–DC converter produces very less voltage as a result of poor voltage gain. Therefore, cascaded DC–DC boost converters are mandatory for boosting the voltage to match the DC microgrid voltage. However, the number of devices utilized in the DC–DC conversion stage becomes higher and leads to more losses. Thereby, it affects the system efficiency and increases the complication of the system and cost. In order to overcome this drawback, a novel double-boost DC–DC converter is proposed to meet the voltage in DC microgrid. Also, this paper discusses the detailed operation of maximum power point (MPP) tracking techniques in the novel double-boost DC–DC converter topology. The fundamental [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] characteristics of solar photovoltaic system, operational details of MPP execution and control strategies for double-boost DC/DC converter are described elaborately. The proposed converter operation and power injection into the DC microgrid are verified through the real-time PSCAD simulation and the validation is done through the experiment with hardware module which is indistinguishable with the simulation platform.

This paper proposes a discrete-time, multi-time-scale estimation and control design for quadrotors in the presence of external disturbances and model uncertainties. Assuming that not all state measurements are available, they will need to be estimated. The sample-data Extended High-Gain Observers are used to estimate unmeasured states, system uncertainties, and external disturbances. Discretized dynamic inversion utilizes those estimates and deals with an uncertain principal inertia matrix. In the plant dynamics, the proposed control forces the rotational dynamics to be faster than the translational dynamics. Numerical simulations and experimental results verify the proposed estimation and control algorithm. All sensing and computation is done on-board the vehicle.

The use of several different sources to feed a load jointly is convenient in many applications, in particular those where two or more renewable energy sources are employed. These applications include energy harvesting, hybrid vehicles, and off-grid systems. A multi-input converter able to admit sources of different characteristics and select the output power of each source is necessary in such applications. Several topologies of multi-input converters have been proposed to this aim; however, most of them are controlled by simple strategies based on a small signal model of multi-input converters. In this work, a low cost high gain step-up multi-input converter is analyzed. A nonlinear model is derived. Using this model, a detailed design procedure is proposed. A 500 W converter prototype was constructed to confirm that the model predicted the real behavior of the converter. Using the nonlinear model, indirect voltage control of basic converters was extended to the multi-input converter. The obtained controller had a fast performance, and it was robust under load and input voltage variations. With the obtained model, the proposed design procedure, and the controller, a converter that was initially proposed for photovoltaic applications was enabled to be used in a broader range of applications. The herein exposed ideas for modeling, the design procedure, and control could be also applied to other multi-input converters.

Amplitude Level

To exploit all potentialities of the optimal control procedure, the analysis initiated in Part I focuses on the system response under one-side control, an excitation which furnishes high gain though, roughly, controlling only one part of the phase space. Many bifurcational and control items related to the unsymmetric and pulsed nature of the excitation are deeply investigated. A nonclassical kind of homoclinic bifurcation is identified and it is discussed how it may lead to major regularity. The system response is very rich, and the main local and global phenomena of the dynamics are analyzed in detail through combined use of bifurcation diagrams and attractor-basin phase portraits. Both the confinement of steady dynamics in the controlled potential well and their successive transition from confined to scattered are studied, and it is discussed how they are obtained through comparison with the case of harmonic excitation. It is shown that the two investigated optimal excitations permit to increase the amplitude level for confined to scattered dynamics and to regularize the steady dynamics, although in a different manner. The analysis shows the effectiveness — in "average" sense — of the proposed method for controlling nonlinear dynamics.
