DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR EXTENDED PERIOD-ZCS/ZVS-QUASI RESONANT CONVERTER: DESIGN, SIMULATION, AND EXPERIMENTATION
Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of simple fuzzy logic controller (SFLC) for a nonlinear quasi-resonant converter (QRC). It is shown that the two-dimensional rule table of conventional FLCs (CFLCs) used in power converters can be reduced to one-dimensional rule table using SFLC. The proposed SFLC reduces the memory space and computing time of the fuzzy algorithm. The tuning of scaling factors and the generation of fuzzy rules are also easier when compared with CFLC. As a result, realizing SFLC in a Microcontroller or Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is made simple. The proposed controller structure is universal and it can be directly applied to any of the dc–dc converter topologies. In this paper, the application of SFLC is successfully verified for the voltage control of Extended Period (EP)-ZCS/ZVS-QRC through simulation and experimental studies using TMS320F2407A Processor. The ability of SFLC, compared to CFLC, to achieve good transient response for load variations and supply disturbances is demonstrated.
