An experimental verification of previously derived small-signal low-frequency open- and closed-loop characteristics and step responses of a voltage-mode-controlled pulse-width-modulated (PWM) boost DC–DC converter is presented. The Bode plots of the voltage transfer function of the control circuit, the converter and the PWM modulator, the open-loop control-to-output and input-to-output transfer functions, the loop gain, and the closed-loop control-to-output and input-to-output transfer functions are measured. The step responses to the changes in the input voltage, the duty cycle, and the reference voltage are measured. The theoretical results were in good agreement with the measured results. The small-signal model of the converter is experimentally verified.

DC and small-signal circuit models of the PWM buck-boost converter for the continuous conduction mode (CCM) are derived. The models take into account parasitic components, such as the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the filter capacitor, the ESR of the inductor, the transistor on-resistance, and the diode forward resistance and offset voltage. The component values and the parasitics were measured for a prototype converter. The dc voltage transfer function and the efficiency of the converter are derived from the dc model. Small-signal open-loop transfer functions are derived from the small-signal model. The derivation of the transfer function for an integral-lead controller with the loading effect of the voltage divider network in the feedback loop is given. Small-signal closed-loop transfer functions are derived. Bode plots are given for various transfer functions of the converter.

The control of separated fluid flow by reduced-order models is studied using the two-dimensional incompressible flow over an open square cavity at Reynolds numbers where instabilities are present. Actuation and measurement locations are taken on the upstream and downstream edge of the cavity. A bi-orthogonal projection is introduced to arrive at reduced-order models for the compensated problem. Global modes, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) modes and balanced modes are used as expansion bases for the model reduction. The open-loop behaviour of the full and the reduced systems is analysed by comparing the respective transfer functions. This analysis shows that global modes are inadequate to sufficiently represent the input–output behaviour whereas POD and balanced modes are capable of properly approximating the exact transfer function. Balanced modes are far more efficient in this process, but POD modes show superior robustness. The performance of the closed-loop system corroborates this finding: while reduced-order models based on POD are able to render the compensated system stable, balanced modes accomplish the same with far fewer degrees of freedom.

This paper presents the comparison of LED driver topologies that include SEPIC, CUK and FLYBACK DC-DC converters. Both topologies are designed for 8W power and operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with 88 kHz switching frequency. Furthermore, inductors of SEPIC and CUK converters are wounded as coupled. Applications are realized by using SG3524 integrated circuit for open loop and PIC16F877 microcontroller for closed loop. Besides, ACS712 current sensor used to limit maximum LED current for closed loop applications. Finally, SEPIC, CUK and FLYBACK DC-DC LED drivers are compared with respect to LED current, LED voltage, input voltage and current. Also, advantages and disadvantages of all topologies are concluded.

Active instability control was applied to an atmospheric swirl-stabilized premixed combustor using open loop and closed loop control schemes. Actuation was realised by two on-off valves allowing for symmetric and asymmetric modulation of the premix fuel flow while maintaining constant time averaged overall fuel mass flow. Pressure and heat release fluctuations in the combustor as well as NOx, CO and CO2 emissions in the exhaust were recorded. In the open loop circuit the heat release response of the flame was first investigated during stable combustion. For symmetric fuel modulation the dominant frequency in the heat release response was the modulation frequency, while for asymmetric modulation it was its first harmonic. In stable open loop control a reduction of NOx emissions due to fuel modulation of up to 19% was recorded. In the closed loop mode phase-shift control was applied while triggering the valves at the dominant oscillation frequency as well as at its second subharmonic. Both, open and closed loop control schemes were able to successfully control a low-frequency combustion instability, while showing only a small increase in NOx emissions compared to, for example, secondary fuel modulation. Using premixed open loop fuel modulation, attenuation was best when modulating the fuel at frequencies different from the dominant instability frequency and its subharmonic. The performance of asymmetric fuel modulation was generally slightly better than for symmetric modulation in terms of suppression levels as well as emissions. Suppression of the instability’s pressure rms level of up to 15.7 dB was recorded.

High gain DC-DC converters are getting popular due to the increased use of renewable energy sources (RESs). Common ground between the input and output, low voltage stress across power switches and high voltage gain at lower duty ratios are desirable features required in any high gain DC-DC converter. DC-DC converters are widely used in DC microgrids to supply power to meet local demands. In this work, a high step-up DC-DC converter is proposed based on the voltage lift (VL) technique using a single power switch. The proposed converter has a voltage gain greater than a traditional boost converter (TBC) and Traditional quadratic boost converter (TQBC). The effect of inductor parasitic resistances on the voltage gain of the converter is discussed. The losses occurring in various components are calculated using PLECS software. To confirm the performance of the converter, a hardware prototype of 200 W is developed in the laboratory. The simulation and hardware results are presented to determine the performance of the converter in both open-loop and closed-loop conditions. In closed-loop operation, a PI controller is used to maintain a constant output voltage when the load or input voltage is changed.

Several techniques have recently been proposed to identify open-loop system models from input-output data obtained while the plant is operating under closed-loop control. So called multi-stage identification techniques are particularly useful in industrial applications where obtaining input-output information in the absence of closed-loop control is often difficult. These open-loop system models can then be employed in the design of more sophisticated closed-loop controllers. This paper introduces a methodology to identify linear open-loop models of gas turbine engines using a multi-stage identification procedure. The procedure utilizes closed-loop data to identify a closed-loop sensitivity function in the first stage and extracts the open-loop plant model in the second stage. The closed-loop data can be obtained by any sufficiently informative experiment from a plant in operation or simulation. We present simulation results here. This is the logical process to follow since using experimentation is often prohibitively expensive and unpractical. Both identification stages use standard open-loop identification techniques. We then propose a series of techniques to validate the accuracy of the identified models against first principles simulations in both the time and frequency domains. Finally, the potential to use these models for control design is discussed.

Owing to the benefits of programmable and parallel processing of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), they have been widely used for the realization of digital controllers and motor drive systems. Furthermore, they can be used to integrate several functions as an embedded system. In this paper, based on Matrix Laboratory (Matlab)/Simulink and the FPGA chip, we design and implement a stepper motor drive. Generally, motion control systems driven by a stepper motor can be in open-loop or closed-loop form, and pulse generators are used to generate a series of pulse commands, according to the desired acceleration/run/deceleration, in order to the drive system to rotate the motor. In this paper, the speed and position are designed in closed-loop control, and a vector control strategy is applied to the obtained rotor angle to regulate the phase current of the stepper motor to achieve the performance of operating it in low, medium, and high speed situations. The results of simulations and practical experiments based on the FPGA implemented control system are given to show the performances for wide range speed control.
