An Adaptive Output Feedback Controller for Boost Converter

The main contribution of this paper is to propose an adaptive reduced-order state observer for boost converter to reconstruct the inductor current and load conductance. Note that the unknown parameter appears in the output dynamics, which poses a detectability obstacle, imposing a more stringent requirement on the system behavior. As a result, the design of an adaptive reduced-order state observer is more challenging. In this paper, using the dynamic extension technique, we transform the state observation into the parameter estimation. Constructing the parameter observer, the current and load conductance can be estimated. Introducing the estimated terms to a saturated PI passivity-based control, an adaptive output feedback saturated controller is presented. To assess the control performance, the simulation and experimental results are given.
