Modelling and control of a Buck converter

Abstract: DC/DC buck converters are cascaded in order to generate proper load voltages. Rectified line voltage is normally converted to 48V, which then, by a bus voltage regulating converter also called the line conditioner converter, is converted to the bus voltage, e.g. 12V. A polynomial controller converter transforms the 12V into to a suitable load voltage, a fraction of or some few voltages. All cascaded converters are individually controlled in order to keep the output voltage stable constant. In this presentation focusing on the polynomial controller converter implemented as Ericsson’s buck converter BMR450. In this paper modeling, discretization and control of a simple Buck converter is presented. For the given DC-DC-Converter-Ericsson BMR 450 series, analyzing the disturbance properties of a second order buck converter controllers by a polynomial controller. The project is performed in Matlab and Simulink. The controller properties are evaluated for measurement noise, EMC noise and for parameter changes.
