Hybrid fuzzy and robust controller applied to a DC-DC boost converter

This paper purposes a hybrid control method applied to a DC-DC Boost converter in order to maintain a constant output voltage and ensure the supply of good power quality to the load. The hybrid controller consists of a fuzzy supervisor which mixes control signals of two types of controllers: robust and fuzzy. Each one of these controllers has good performance in certain operational conditions. The supervisor determines the ideal proportion of the action provided by the controllers in each operational condition. The simulations show that fuzzy and robust control signals can be mixed to provide a good power quality to the load ensuring fast transient response and zero steady-state error due to input voltage and load variations.
