PPPEAC hosted an IEEE PELS Distinguished Lecture on Monday, February 1, 2021, from 4:30 to 5:30 PM ET. The lecture ran on Zoom, hosted by Princeton University. Prof. Paolo Mattavelli of the University of Padova was the speaker.
Digital Control in Power Electronics
The lecture covers digital control of high-frequency switching converters. Topics include:
- Modeling and implementation basics
- Oversampling and its effect on control delay and dynamic response
- Digital control design, from analog equivalents to discrete-time analysis
- Nonlinear approaches such as time-optimal control
- Digital hysteresis modulation, time-event control, and oversampled control
- Auto-tuning techniques
- Applications to grid-connected power converters
