Optimum Design of Integer and Fractional-Order PID Controllers for Boost Converter Using SPEA Look-up Tables

Optimum Design for Multilevel Boost Converter

This paper gives a comprehensive study for the losses in DC-DC Multilevel Boost Converter “MLBC”. A closed formula for the currents in different branches and the efficiency of the system are calculated. Different switching frequencies will be considered. The equations given to calculate the power loss in each branch is used to give an indication of the individual power loss that facilitates com...

Higher Order Masking of Look-Up Tables

We describe a new algorithm for masking look-up tables of block-ciphers at any order, as a countermeasure against side-channel attacks. Our technique is a generalization of the classical randomized table countermeasure against first-order attacks. We prove the security of our new algorithm against t-th order attacks in the usual Ishai-Sahai-Wagner model from Crypto 2003; we also improve the bou...

A Methodology for the Design of Fuzzy Fractional PID Controllers

This paper proposes two novel fuzzy fractional PID structures. The tuning of the fuzzy fractional controllers is based on the prior knowledge of fractional-order control tuning rules. The digital implementation of these controllers is also investigated. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed tuning methodology is illustrated through its application on a fractional-order plant. The sim...

Fractional Order PID Controller for Diabetes Patients

This paper proposes an optimized control policy over type one diabetes. Type one diabetes is taken into consideration as a nonlinear model (Augmented Minimal Model), which is implemented in MATLAB-SIMULINK. This Model is developed in consideration of the patient's conditions. There are some uncertainties in the regarded model due to factors such as blood glucose concentration, daily meals or su...
