A Novel Feedback Linearisation Control of Flyback Converter

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a novel approach for feedback linearisation in a continuous conduction mode (CCM) of the flyback converter. Due to the unstable zero dynamics, a flyback converter has highly non-linear behaviour. Flyback converters mostly use the indirect (current) control mechanism. In contrast, this paper shows a direct control of the output voltage of a flyback converter with feedback linearisation (a non-linear control method). In the designed controller, an error integrator is applied to improve the dynamic and steady-state behaviour of the controller. To design the feedback linearisation method, the state-space averaged model is determined. The converter and the proposed control are tested in a MatLab/Simulink environment, and the results are compared with other optimal controller methods. The results provide feedback about the efficiency and practical implementation of the proposed method.
