Robust Controller Identification for a Boost Type DC-DC Converter Using Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we present a novel method of feedback controller design for a boost type dc-dc converter. The controller design is perceived as an optimization process of dynamic response enhancement and solution is sought through genetic algorithm. The use of exact model of boost converter in conjunction with evolutionary search results in a robust controller structure which guarantees excellent dynamic response at all operating points. Computed and measured results are given to illustrate the new dispensation.
