Abstract

Buck converters are widely employed in power electronics for efficient DC voltage regulation, particularly in applications such as motor drives and embedded systems. However, conventional control methods, such as PID, often exhibit limitations including significant voltage ripple, overshoot, and sluggish dynamic response under varying load conditions. This study introduces a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) integrated into a buck converter system to address these challenges through adaptive and nonlinear control. The research contribution is the design and simulation of an FLC-based voltage regulation strategy that enhances output stability and improves transient performance in DC motor applications. The proposed buck converter operates in continuous conduction mode and consists of an IGBT switch, inductor, diode, and filter capacitor. The FLC employs voltage deviation and its rate of change as input variables and utilizes a 25-rule Mamdani fuzzy inference system to modulate the duty cycle in real time. Simulated in MATLAB Simulink with a dynamic DC motor load, the FLC demonstrates superior control characteristics over the PID controller. Most notably, voltage ripple is reduced by over 65%, leading to improved voltage stability and reduced fluctuations. The FLC also exhibits faster settling behavior and better handling of dynamic load variations, confirming its effectiveness in nonlinear and time-varying systems. Future work will focus on hardware validation, hybrid control integration, and deployment in renewable energy and electric vehicle systems to improve adaptability and real-world performance.

Abstract

The given paper presents a robust Sigmoid-based Proportional-Integral-Derivative (SPID) controller for Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) systems, optimized using the Nonlinear Sine Cosine Algorithm (NSCA) enhanced with the Amplifier Feedback Dynamic Weighted (AFDW) system. Conventional PID controllers are frequently struggling with parameter variations and external interruptions that lead to instability and reduced performances in AVR systems. The proposed SPID controller overcomes these limitations by incorporating nonlinear sigmoid functions, improving the AVR system's robustness and dynamic response. While the AFDW system improves stability and responsiveness by dynamically adjusting the feedback weight, the NSCA balances exploration and exploitation to optimize controller parameters. The primary contribution of the present research is an overview of the NSCA-SPID controller, which offers superior results in voltage regulation compared to traditional PID and other metaheuristic-tuned controllers, enhancement in settling time, elimination of overshoot, and improvement in steady-state error. Additionally, performance index and statistical performances are used to validate the proposed SPID controller. Simulation results demonstrate significant achievements that emphasize the effectiveness of the NSCA-SPID controller toward enhancing the AVR system stability and controller design’s performance under varying load conditions. Finally, the proposed NSCA-SPID controller provides a promising solution for Enhancing the regulation of voltage in power systems, providing Superior and efficient technique for practical applications.
