The application of modeling methods suitable for control and simulation of power electronic systems is outlined as a self-contained approach to solve the simulation and control problems of novel structures of power electronics converters. The straightforward non-linear modeling for controller design and simulation uses switched state-space models avoiding the averaging task, needs few linear control concepts, derives the stability study from geometric properties and leads to an integrated design of the control, modulators and simulation tasks. On-line sliding mode control techniques are well suited to power converters as they are inherently variable structure systems. Obtained controllers are robust concerning converter parameter variations, semiconductor non-ideal characteristics, load and line disturbances. Main modeling and design steps are summarized and some examples given. Results show fast dynamics, no steady-state errors and robustness against semiconductor non-idealities and dead times.
