In the beginning of Introduction to Switching Converters: Modeling and Nonlinear Control Techniques, simple DC-DC switching converters will be presented to illustrate not only their working mechanism but also their modeling using differential equations. After an introduction to the nature of switching converters, a novel converter topology will be presented, and its operation will be discussed.
In addition to using the conventional cascade control (two loops), the author also proposes using a high-bandwidth control loop, based on cutting-edge control methods. The LC input filter, which is commonly located at either the input or output ports of the converter, will be discussed. Its effect in handling a tightly controlled converter known as a constant power load (CPL) will be described. This book also presents many new control methods, which are not only intended for engineers and researchers, but also for students of power electronics from entry level to advanced level.
MATLAB and Simulink are used to solve examples throughout the book.
