Hybrid control of a three-level three-cell dc-dc converter

This paper compares three synthesis methods for controlling a three-level three-cell dc-dc converter. The main contribution of this paper is to analyse different strategies: i) The Passivity Based Control that uses the notion of average model, ii) A stabilizing method in which a unique Lyapunov function is introduced and iii) A new predictive control approach, which relies on the use of optimization procedures.
