Abstract

Recently a new topology called Y-source impedance network has been proposed to enhance the performance of boost dc-dc converters. The Y-source boost dc-dc converter has shown its ability to offer high gain voltage with small duty ratio. This paper presents an algorithm based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) to control the Y-source boost DC-DC converter. An analytical MPC algorithm reducing the computation time is proposed. Using this technique a fast response and steady state output can be achieved. Besides, the proposed controller controls directly the switch position, so Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is not required in this technique. The proposed algorithm offer optimal solution in reasonable time and it is not considered as a computation burden, thus real-time implementation is possible; overcoming the inherent drawback of classical MPC controller. Simulation results, demonstrating the controller capabilities to produce the required high gain voltage, are presented.
