Robust Control of DC-DC Converters: The Kharitonov's Theorem Approach with MATLAB Codes

Robust Control of DC-DC Converters: The Kharitonov's Theorem Approach with MATLAB Codes shows how simple controllers such as Proportional-Integral (PI) can turn into a robust controller by correct selection of its parameters. Kharitonov's theorem is an important tool toward this end.

The first part of the book shows how one can obtain the interval plant model of a DC-DC converter. The second part introduces the Kharitonov's theorem, an analysis tool rather than a design tool. Case studies show how it can be used as a design tool. MATLAB is used to solve examples throughout the book.

The prerequisite for reading this book is a first course on feedback control theory and power electronics.
