A dynamical sliding-mode control for the boost converter: implementation details

An experimental evaluation of a dynamical sliding-mode control for power converters which has been recently proposed is presented in this paper. This controller is endowed with notable characteristics predicted in theory and observed in simulations, among others: it is robust under load and input voltage variations and does not require current measurements. Although it is highly nonlinear, it is easy to implement. Furthermore simple conditions for stability have been provided. All this characteristics are evaluated in practice in this work. The design procedure is presented by means of an example and implementation details are thoroughly explained
