Harnessing Field-Programmable Gate Array-Based Simulation for Enhanced Predictive Control for Voltage Regulation in a DC-DC Boost Converter
Abstrak
This paper presents the design of a predictive controller for a boost converter and validation through real-time simulation. First, the boost converter was mathematically modeled, and then the electronic components were designed to meet the operation requirements. Subsequently, a model-based predictive controller (MBPC) and a digital PI (Proportional–Integral) controller were designed, and their performance was compared using MATLAB/SIMULINK<sup>®</sup>. The controls were further verified by implementing test benches based on an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) with an OPAL-RT real-time simulator, which included the RT-LAB and RT-eFPGAsim simulation packages. These tests were successfully carried out, and the methodology used for this design was validated. The results showed a better response obtained with MBPC, both in terms of stabilization time and lower overvoltage.
