Description
Advanced Modeling and Control of DC-DC Converters delves into the intricate field of power electronics and its applications for DC-DC converters. This subject plays a crucial role in a wide range of industries, including renewable energy systems, electric vehicle technology, aerospace, telecommunications, and more. This volume focuses on the advanced modeling and control strategies of DC-DC converters, covering various converter topologies, such as buck, boost, buck-boost, and isolated converters, exploring their unique characteristics and challenges. Furthermore, it delves into the integration of advanced semiconductor devices, which offer higher efficiency and power density. One of the key features of this book is the exploration of advanced control algorithms that enhance the performance, stability, and efficiency of DC-DC converters. These algorithms encompass traditional control techniques such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control and contemporary approaches like sliding-mode control, adaptive control, and advanced model predictive control. Advanced Modeling and Control of DC-DC Converters provides detailed explanations, design guidelines, and simulation examples to aid readers in implementing these control strategies effectively, making it an invaluable resource for students and industry veterans alike.
