Summary: | Jumping disturbances and large noises in input voltage sources to a power converter can cause substantial excursion of its output voltage even under a well-designed feedback controller. Predictive compensation can achieve improved disturbance rejection and tracking performance in such scenarios, resulting in a two-degree-of-freedom design. While the feedback controller has embedded robustness, designing feedforward controllers, which are open-loop compensators, is challenging due to the fact that converter internal parameters change from aging and variations in operating conditions, and loads themselves are part of the converter dynamics. When converter dynamics change, system performance deteriorates significantly, making adaptation mandatory. By integrating system identification with the feedforward compensator, an adaptive feedforward compensation design is proposed in this brief. Working on a boost dc-dc converter as a typical platform, combined feedback and adaptive feedforward design is explored. The results show that the two-degree-of-freedom adaptive design results in much improved performance in rejecting disturbances from input power sources. |
