Abstract

This paper presents a nonlinear discontinuous control law that allows stabilizing the output voltage of a step-down voltage converter in conditions when the input voltage and load current are unknown. The main idea is based on the use of the so-called vortex algorithms, which ensure invariance with respect to external unmatched disturbances. The efficiency of the developed algorithms is shown by numerical simulation.
