Abstract
This paper presents the design of the transfer function between the control and output variable of a DC-DC boost converter using a combination of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and output-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) mechanisms for eradicating the effect of the non-minimum phase (NMP) behavior on the system. This is made possible due to the existence of a right half plane (RHP) zero. It is observed that the MPC outperformed the conventionally designed PID approach by a significant margin. Based on the computed results, it can be emphasized that the combination of output-based MPC and PID controller demonstrated a strong alignment with optimal designs, exhibiting a fast convergence rate than PID and PID-IMC. Simulation results are presented to showcase the fast transient response and a high level of robustness of the proposed control methodology.
