On the discrete-time modeling of a dc-to-dc power converter and control design with discrete-time sliding modes

Abstract

This work presents a novel discrete-time modeling of a boost dc-to-dc power converter by means of the symplectic Euler method. Then, on the basis of this model, a discrete-time sliding mode regulator is designed in order to force the power converter to behave as a dc-to-ac power converter. Simulation and experimental results are carried on, where the great performance of the proposed methodology is verified. Copyright © 2013 Jorge Rivera et al.
