Buck-boost DC/DC converters have been extensively employed in stepping up/down the voltage for PV applications. The input and the output port current of the traditional quadratic buck-boost converter are discontinuous, which result in increased input and output current ripples and complicate the design of the input and output filters. Hence these problems can be solved by using a modified quadratic buck boost converter, which provides wider voltage conversion ratio with continuous input and output ports current. Dual output can be derived from this single input converter for multiple output applications. Also a fuzzy logic controller can be designed for this proposed converter for better and faster performance.

In this paper, the design of a fuzzy logic controller based quad buck-boost converter with constant input and output current is presented. In contrast with the ordinary step-down-up converters the advanced converter with same duty cycle, a large limit of voltage conversion ratio could be acquired. A proposed converter is designed and studied with an intelligent controller i.e. fuzzy logic controller/FLC and differentiated with the ordinary Proportional-Integral /PIC controller. Finally, the analysis of the presented converter by employing MATLAB/Simulink, simulation results of the presented converter is recorded to substantiate the effectualness and rationality of the output voltage control of Quad buck-boost converter in both step-down-up mode and its comparative analysis is presented where the fuzzy logic has a minimum overshoot and settling time compared to regular PI controller.

Purpose – The use of power electronic equipment such as conventional AC-DC-AC converters cause several problems in electrical networks and its components. They generate harmonic currents and disturb the electrical power sources; so, it is necessary to research alternative topologies of power electronic converters based on advanced intelligent controllers, which reduce or even eliminate harmonics to achieve energy-saving and environmental protection. The use of matrix converter (MC) is, considered as an attractive solution to maintain pure sinusoidal input and output current waveforms. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – The studied system is composed of a three phase matrix converter (TMC) feeding a linear R, L load and a trees phase rectifier considered as a non-linear load; the proposed control strategy is based on a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) associated to the (space vector modulation) SVM modulation technique, this choice is motivated by the advantages that represent the combination of FLC and SVM in term of power quality enhancement in both input and output sides of MC. Findings – The model is validated based on simulation results that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in term of power quality amelioration. The high performance of the proposed FLC is illustrated in all study cases especially in the case of perturbed input voltage, it is not only able to keep the whole system stable, but also it reduces harmonic distortion THD to respect international standards recommendation. Originality/value – In this paper, an associated linear (RL), non-linear loads and TMC is studied. From the mathematical point of view, the MC is modeled and analyzed. From the technique point of view, the MC allows sinusoidal current absorbance from the network with good qualities in term of harmonic distortion compensation, and high reliability under various loads and disturbed input voltage.

Beragamnya metode yang ditawarkan oleh fuzzy logic kontroller membuat sebagaian orang meneliti mengenai perbedaan metode inferensi yang digunakan oleh fuzzy logic controller. Sejauh ini terdapat tiga metode fuzzy logic kontroller yang telah dikembangkan yaitu Mamdani, Sugono dan Sukamoto. Pada jurnal ini penggunaan fuzzy logic kontroller akan dievaluasi dengan menggunakan motor dc penguat terpisah sebagai beban untuk melakukan pengaturan kecepatan motor dc. Pada paper ini tujuan utamanya adalah dapat mengendalikan kecepatan dari motor DC Penguatan Terpisah dengan mengatur tegangan jangkar dari motor tersebut. DC motor merupakan salah satu jenis motor memiliki banyak aplikasi dan memiliki kemudahan untuk mengatur kecepatan pada motor tersebut. Logika fuzzy yang digunakan pada studi ini adalah inferensi sugeno dimana dengan konfigurasi Multiple Input Single Output (MiSo). Dimana input berupa error dan perubahan error dan output berupa duty cycle dikarenakan yang dikendalikan oleh logika fuzzy adalah Boost Converter selaku controlled voltage source. Target pada jurnal ini adalah dari kecilnya nilai steady – state error dan minimnya osilasi sehingga mampu membuat sistem lebih stabil. Pada studi ini, Hasil pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan Simulink by Matlab dengan Hasil pengujian berupa error rata rata sebesar 5.36%.

The maximum power point tracking control is based on adaptive fuzzy logic to control ON/OFF time of IGBT switch of DC-DC boost converter. The proposed DC to DC converter is designed by using the Multisim software while the controller programme will be carried out by using the Matlab Simulink software. Pulse width modulation will be generated by the controller to trigger the IGBT gate. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated by the simulation and the result show that our proposed converter can convert more power from generated voltage. By using the fuzzy logic method to track the maximum power of the PV array, it is faster and the voltage is stable.

A 9-level inverter with a boost converter has been controlled with a fuzzy logic controller and a PID controller for regulating output voltage applications on resistive (R) and inductive (L), capacitance (C). The mathematical model of this system is created according to the fuzzy logic controlling new high multilevel inverter with a boost converter. The DC-DC boost converter and the multi-level inverter are designed and explained, when creating a mathematical model after a linear pulse width modulation (LPWM), it is preferred to operate the boost multi-level inverter. The fuzzy logic control and the PID control are used to manage the LPWM that allows the switches to operate. The fuzzy logic algorithm is presented by giving necessary mathematical equations that have second-degree differential equations for the fuzzy logic controller. After that, the fuzzy logic controller is set up in the 9-level inverter. The proposed model runs on different membership positions of the triangles at the fuzzy logic controller after testing the PID controller. After the output voltage of the converter, the output voltage of the inverter and the output current of the inverter are observed at the MATLAB SIMULINK, the obtained results are analysed and compared. The results show the demanded performance of the inverter and approve the contribution of the fuzzy logic control on multi-level inverter circuits.
