A Novel Identification Approach for Classic Controller Design Applied on Flyback Converter
In this paper, a new controller design approach for DC-DC flyback converter has been proposed and compared with classic controller design approach. The proposed controller design method has been innovated from the identification LS method that previously applied on parameter identification. The proposed method exchanges the controller design problem to the identification problem. The proposed approach has two considerable superiority compared with common methods. It can design a controller with the desired structure and desired performance. Regard to these advantages, it can be notated that the proposed approach is well suited for SMPS application where benefits from analog controllers for the decreased total cost. For controller design purposes, the large and small-signal models of the flyback converter, using well-known state-space averaging and linearization methods have been extracted and controllers with classic and proposed approaches have been designed. Also, it proved that the conventional peak current controller used in commercial current-mode analog controllers is equivalent to a proportional average controller. One practical flyback converter has designed and implemented in continuous mode with two controllers and some experimental and simulation results have been provided for verification of the proposed method. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed design approach can provide a controller with the desired structure and performance.
