Abstract

Background: Superbuck converter is a strong nonlinear system. However, with the changes in parameters, Superbuck converter performance may be reduced due to nonlinear phenomena, such as bifurcation, chaos, etc.

Current mode controlled Superbuck converters have been extensively applied in photovoltaic (PV) systems that require a stable output voltage. Superbuck converters, as nonlinear circuits, exhibit plentiful nonlinear phenomena, such as bifurcation and chaos. In this study, we analyze and control the nonlinear phenomena in the current mode controlled Superbuck converter. The piecewise switching model and discrete iteration mapping model of the Superbuck converter are established. The evolution process of the Superbuck converter from steady state to bifurcation and chaos is revealed when the reference current, input voltage, and load are used as bifurcation parameters, and the bifurcation forms of the converter are all period-doubling bifurcations. The stability criterion of Superbuck converter under current mode has been deduced from reference current by analyzing the stability of the converter. Through the resonant parametric perturbation (RPP) method, the chaos control of the Superbuck converter has been realized for the first time. The converter changes from a chaotic state to a stable single-cycle state about 0.4ms after control and the output voltage ripple is reduced from 3.905V to 0.679V, which effectively improves the output stability of the converter.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze and control nonlinear phenomena in current-mode controlled Superbuck converters.

Methods: Bifurcation diagram, time-domain waveform diagram, phase portrait and Poincare section are used as analytical methods for the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of Superbuck converters. The chaotic control method of the Superbuck converter is Resonant Parameter Perturbation (RPP).

Results: After applying RPP control to the Superbuck converter in the chaotic state, it is converted into a single-cycle stable state in about 0.4ms. After the converter is controlled, the output current ripple is reduced from 0.71479A to 0.31A, and the output voltage ripple is reduced from 3.905V to 0.679V.

Conclusion: With the increase in the reference current, the decrease in the input voltage, or the increase in the load, the system enters the chaotic state through the period-doubling bifurcation path. In this study, the chaos control of the Superbuck converter is carried out for the first time, and the control method used is the resonant parametric perturbation method. After RPP control, the converter is changed from an unstable, chaotic state to a stable period state in about 0.4ms.
