Stability Improvement for One Cycle Controlled Boost Converters Based on Energy Balance Principle

Boost converters with one cycle control (OCC) are prone to exhibit oscillations as the Hopf bifurcation, which may degrade performances and limit the parameter stable region of converters. This work proposed a novel control strategy for suppressing such bifurcations and enlarging the parameter stability region of the boost system on the basis of the principle of energy balance in the circuit. Through analyzing of the stability and bifurcation condition, the results reflect that, the energy-based OCC can adjust the poles of the system transfer function, which ensures the stable operation of the system in an extended range of circuit parameters. Moreover, the orders of the transfer function will not be increased by such adjustments, thus the computational complexity of the transfer function will be increased. The theoretical analysis demonstrates the ability of the energy-based OCC for suppressing the bifurcations and enlarging the stable region of the system parameters. The results by simulation and experiment further prove the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
