Abstract

This article discusses a new robust control technique that enables the DC-DC boost converter driving a permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor to operate in high static and dynamic performances. The new technique is based on the design of a both linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and linear quadratic regulator-proportional integral (LQR-PI) type controllers, which have the advantage of eliminating oscillations, overshoots and fluctuations on different characteristics in steady-state system operation. In order to increase the output voltage, the LQR regulator is combined with a first-order system represented in the form of a closed-loop transfer function, the latter raising the output voltage to 24 volts, this voltage is enough to drive the permanent magnet direct current motor. The contribution of this paper is the creation of a robust control system represented in the form of a hybrid corrector able to regulate steady-state and transient disturbances and oscillations as well as to increase DC-DC boost converter output voltage for the PMDC motor to operate at rated voltage. The results of the three control techniques are validated by MATLAB Simulink.

Abstract

This article introduces the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control and the hybrid linear quadratic regulator proportional-integral (LQR-PI) control, both applied to a photovoltaic system coupled with a DC-DC boost converter. The converter outputs direct current electrical energy to power direct loads. Two robust control correctors, based on the LQR and LQR-PI methods, are designed to enhance the static and dynamic performance of the PV DC-DC boost system. These controllers aim to minimize oscillations and overshoots while ensuring stability across varying solar conditions, thereby optimizing operation around the maximum power point. The disturb and observe maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique, integrated with the LQR and LQR-PI controllers, ensures system functionality under disturbances. The novelty of this work lies in the development of a MATLAB control block diagram capable of regulating the reference voltage provided by the perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm. MATLAB simulations demonstrate the robustness and high performance of the LQR and LQR-PI controllers, validating the efficacy of this boost converter control strategy.
