Abstract This paper presents the modeling and control of a non-minimum phase dc-dc boost converter based on the three - state switching cells. In any double stage grid-connected system the converter forms an interface between the photovoltaic source and the inverter. As the control and regulation of the converter output is a vital part of penetration of renewable to grid, therefore, this paper had attempted the control of a converter topology that can reduce the current stress across its switches. But the system becomes highly unstable and complex which has been validated by predicting the limit cycle with a describing function. The Controller design is implemented after reducing the complexity of the system using the Model order reduction principle. H-inf controller being robust in nature is applied for stable and regulated output.

The modeling and control system design of high step-up DC/DC converters based on voltage multipliers (VMs) are difficult, due to the various circuit topologies and the presence of large number of capacitors in VMs. This paper proposes a generic approach to reduce the model order of such converters by replacing the VM capacitors with voltage sources controlled by the output voltage of the converter. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the derived models can accurately represent the low frequency response of the converter which is valuable for obtaining a small-signal AC model for control system design. The detailed modeling and controller design process are demonstrated for the converter, and the obtained simulation results are verified experimentally on a 400 W prototype.

AbstractThis thesis deals with model order reduction of parameter-dependent systems based on interpolation of locally reduced system matrices. A Black-Box method is proposed that automatically determines the optimal design parameters and delivers a reduced system with desired accuracy. In addition, the method is extended to stability preservation and interpolation for high-dimensional parameter spaces.

In model order reduction and system theory, the cross-gramian is widely applicable. The cross-gramian based model order reduction techniques have the advantage over conventional balanced truncation that it is computationally less complex, while providing a unique relationship with the Hankel singular values of the original system at the same time. This basic property of cross-gramian holds true for all symmetric systems. However, for non-square and non-symmetric dynamical systems, the standard cross-gramian does not satisfy this property. Hence, alternate approaches need to be developed for its evaluation. In this paper, a generalized frequency-weighted cross-gramian-based controller reduction algorithm is presented, which is applicable to both symmetric and non-symmetric systems. The proposed algorithm is also applicable to unstable systems even if they have poles of opposite polarities and equal magnitudes. The proposed technique produces an accurate approximation of the reduced order model in the desired frequency region with a reduced computational effort. A lower order controller can be designed using the proposed technique, which ensures closed-loop stability and performance with the original full order plant. Numerical examples provide evidence of the efficacy of the proposed technique.
