Stable inversion plays a key role in the solution of the exact tracking control problem in nonminimum phase systems. However, the general methods developed so far for the computation of stable inverses require backwards time numeric integration of the internal dynamics equation, which yields high sensitivity to external disturbances and/or structured uncertainties. This article introduces an it...

Single phase power factor correction ac-dc converters are widely used in industry for ac-dc power conversion from single phase ac mains to an required output dc voltage. In case of high power application these types of converter use an ac-dc boost converter followed by dc-dc converter. These converters has the features of excellent input power factor, continuous input and output currents, and i...

The class of Deterministic Conditional Term Rewriting Systems (DCTRSs) is of utmost importance for the tight relationships exhibited with functional programming, logic programming and inductive reasoning. However, its analysis is extremely diicult, and to date there are only very few works on the subject, each analyzing a particular aspect of DCTRSs. In this paper, we perform a thorough analysi...

This paper presents a new method for theoretical stability analysis of a bidirectional dual full bridge DC-DC converter with triple phase-shift control. The developed approach is analytically sound and generally applicable when compared with the existing approaches, which are by and large based on computer simulation. The operating process of a bidirectional converter is multi-stage and nonline...

. The aim of this paper is to present an overcurrent limitation for the digital peak current mode dc-dc converter. The proposed method can detect the overcurrent in real time and it also maintains arbitrary current in the overcurrent limitation mode. It is expected to provide an effective function to protect the renewable energy system. The effectiveness of proposed method is confirmed from bot...

Switched circuits in power electronics by their nature present hybrid behavior. Such circuits can be described by a set of discrete states with associated continuous dynamics. A control objective, usually regulation of the output in the face of disturbances in the continuous system, is accomplished by choosing among discrete states. We describe a hybrid systems perspective of several common tas...
