[0032] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a simplified illustration of the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control device provided in this embodiment. The device consists of a voltage sampling module, a current sampling module, an ADC module, and a fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module. Figure 3 A detailed circuit diagram of the device is provided. The boost converter circuit with a fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control device includes an input DC power supply, an energy storage inductor L, an N-channel MOSFET, a diode D, an output capacitor C, and loads including a constant power load CPL and a resistive load R. The control circuit consists of a sampling module, an ADC module, and a fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module. The main circuit is specifically constructed as follows: the positive terminal of the input power supply is connected to one end of the energy storage inductor L, and the other end of the inductor L is connected to the anode of the power diode and the drain of the N-channel MOSFET. The cathode of the power diode is connected to the positive terminal of the output capacitor C and one end of the output load. The other end of the output load is connected to the negative terminal of the output capacitor, the source of the N-channel MOSFET, and the negative terminal of the input power supply. The voltage sampling module is connected to both ends of the output capacitor C. The current sampling module is connected in series with the energy storage inductor L. The input terminal of the ADC module is connected to the output terminals of the voltage sampling module and the current sampling module, respectively. The output terminal of the ADC module is connected to the input terminal of the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module. The other end of the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module is connected to the switching transistor drive terminal of the boost converter. The voltage sampling module and the current sampling module sample the output voltage and inductor current of the boost converter, respectively, and input the sampled signals to the ADC module. The ADC module converts the input sampled analog signals into digital signals and inputs them to the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module. The fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module solves the control law to obtain the duty cycle of the boost converter's switching drive signal and generates a drive signal to control the switching transistors of the DC-DC converter.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control method, implemented based on the above device, and the specific implementation is as follows:
[0034] Step 1: Collect the output voltage and inductor current signals of the boost converter through the voltage sampling module and the current sampling module respectively, and input the sampled signals into the ADC module.
[0035] Step 2: The acquired output voltage and inductor current signals are converted into digital signals by the ADC module and then input into the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module.
[0036] Step 3: Establish the mathematical model of the converter system based on the output voltage and inductor current signals, as follows:
[0037]
[0038] Among them, i L and v C This represents the inductor current and output voltage of the converter; P represents the power value of the constant power load; V in This is the input voltage. q is the duty cycle of the switch drive signal, L represents the inductance value, C represents the converter capacitance value, and R represents the resistance value. The total energy of the converter system can be expressed as:
[0039]
[0040] Differentiating the above equation, we get:
[0041]
[0042] Introducing the state variable x2 and the uncertain disturbance d1, the original equation becomes:
[0043]
[0044]
[0045] R0 represents the nominal resistance value. Taking the derivative with respect to the state variable x2, we get:
[0046]
[0047] The process control law v and the uncertain disturbance d2 can be rewritten as:
[0048]
[0049]
[0050] Therefore, the mathematical model of the boost converter system is transformed as follows:
[0051]
[0052] Step 4: Design a nonlinear disturbance observer based on the mathematical model of the converter system, and use the nonlinear disturbance observer to estimate the disturbance.
[0053] The nonlinear disturbance observer is designed as follows:
[0054] and
[0055] Where z1 and z2 represent the observer state variables, and k1 and k2 represent the observer's state variable derivatives, and k1 and k2 represent the observer's gain coefficients. and This represents the disturbance estimate output by the observer.
[0056] Define the system error variable as:
[0057]
[0058] in, Represented as the total energy reference value of the boost converter, virtual control law Represented as:
[0059]
[0060]
[0061] Where c1 is the error coefficient, V ref The desired output voltage value of the converter system. Total energy reference value The derivative of This represents the disturbance estimate output by the observer.
[0062] Step 5: Design a fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding surface based on the disturbance estimate and the mathematical model of the converter system. Design the control law of the DC-DC converter system based on the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding surface. Then, determine whether the system is stable based on Lyapunov stability theory.
[0063] A fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding surface can be designed as follows:
[0064]
[0065] in, It is the α-order fractional derivative of RL defined with initial time t0 and t as the time variable, 0 < α < 1; λ and ρ are control coefficients, λ = (g / h), where g and h represent positive odd numbers, 1 < λ < 2; sgn(x) is the sign function, and x is the independent variable of the sign function; sgn(x) is a function with x as the independent variable. λ It can be equivalent to |x| λsgn(x); Based on the designed fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding surface, the control law v can be designed as:
[0066]
[0067] in, Total energy reference value The second derivative, For disturbance estimates The derivative of Let be the derivative of the error variable value e1, and m1 and m2 be the control parameters. It is the fractional derivative of RL of order α+1 with initial time t0 and time variable t; the Lyapunov function is chosen:
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] Differentiating the Lyapunov function and substituting it into the above equation, we get:
[0071]
[0072] in, Estimating the error for the observer It has an upper bound. When m1≥0, When, because 1 < λ < 2, It can be concluded that Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the proposed fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control module is stable.
[0073] Step 6, using the control law v and formula designed above. The duty cycle q of the switch drive signal is obtained by solving, and the output drive signal controls the on / off state of the boost converter switch.
[0074] To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation experiment was conducted on the application of fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control in a boost converter. The initial simulation conditions were L = 1mH, C = 1000uF, and V... in =12V, V ref =25V, while the constant power load power is 7.8W. Control module parameters m1=4500, m2=1000, ρ=2000, λ=1.66, order α=0.5. Observer coefficients k1=500, k2=300.
[0075] Figure 4 It is when the input voltage is at 0.2 seconds that V in =12V suddenly increases to V in =18V, from V in 0.3 secondsin =18V suddenly dropped to V in The schematic diagram of the 9V output voltage shows that the output voltage of the boost converter under both the backstepping sliding mode control module and the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control module quickly stabilizes and reaches the desired value after the input voltage increases or decreases. Compared with existing backstepping sliding mode control technology, the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control method has the advantages of small overshoot, short recovery time, and small steady-state error.
[0076] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the output voltage when a constant power load suddenly increases from 7.8W to 14.7W in 0.5 seconds, and then decreases from 14.7W to 10.8W in 0.6 seconds. Simulation results show that the converter system output voltage under both control methods can quickly stabilize and reach the desired value after a constant power load change. It is evident that the control method of this invention has smaller overshoot, shorter recovery time, and smaller steady-state error compared to the backstepping sliding mode control method.
[0077] Figure 6 This diagram illustrates the chattering on the sliding mode surface of the converter system under two control methods during steady-state operation. It is readily apparent that the chattering amplitude of the fractional-order non-singular terminal sliding mode control method proposed in this invention is significantly smaller than that of the existing backstepping sliding mode control method. This demonstrates that fractional-order calculus theory can effectively alleviate the chattering problem in sliding mode control, further improving the robustness of the converter system. The control method designed in this invention exhibits good control performance for DC-DC converter systems, ensuring that the output voltage remains stable at the desired value under input voltage or load disturbances.
