Abstract
In this paper, a dc–dc boost converter with continuous input is investigated. In addition to its input current, the converter offers the advantage of using a reduced number of electronic components. The objective is to design an appropriate controller for the nonlinear model taking into account the system nonlinearities, the uncertainty of the resistance load, the constrained fuel cell current, and the saturation of the control input signal (duty ratio).The point is that the converter presents a no minimum phase feature, and the duty ratio must constrain between 0 and 1. Then, a saturated nonlinear controller is elaborated. Detailed analysis and simulation show that the proposed controller meets all control objectives, namely: tight dc-bus voltage regulation and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Experimental results are also given, which show the effectiveness of the controller.
