The sliding mode controller of the bidirectional converter for the DC bus stabilization

A voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may be used to alleviate the transient bus voltage in a DC distributed power system (DC DPS). The control of the VBC is proposed in this paper adopting the sliding mode control which provides robustness, good dynamic response, and simple implementation. The proposed control method carries out the operation of alleviating the transient voltage on the bus and conserving the amount of energy stored. Simulation results will be presented for validating the proposed control technique.
