Análisis y comparación entre un controlador PI difuso y un controlador PI óptimo convencional para un conversor reductor Analysing and comparing a PI fuzzy controller and an optimal conventional PI controller for a buck converter

This document proposes analysing and designing two control strategies for permanent current DC-DC buck converter. These kinds of electronic devices convert a constant-voltage to a lower constant-voltage (nonlinearity characteristics being demonstrated). Two nonlinear control techniques are shown. The first is a conventional optimal proportional error and integral error (PI) controller based on minimising integral of time per squared errors (ITSE) criteria. A model of the plant at an operation point was thus obtained. The second one was fuzzy control where input and output sets were also defined by minimising ITSE criteria in the overall system and establishing inputs such as proportional error and integral error. Load was then varied to establish the system’s efficiency with both the aforementioned controllers. It must be borne in mind that such systems should not present super-voltage since this can cause damage. The parameters found in designing both controllers thus corresponded to analytical and descriptive methodology. Simulation results, the performance index mentioned above (ITSE) and power consumption showed that the system’s response for the fuzzy control drew more power consumption than the optimal controller; otherwise, obtained ITSE was larger for the optimal control than the fuzzy control. It is concluded that exploring these types of converter is applicable when using nonlinear control techniques and minimising the different performance indices.
