Abstract

This article presents the modeling of a DC-DC Boost type converter in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM); as well as the design of its control loops, following the Average Current Control scheme (ACC). The Boost converter is part of a system that emulates photovoltaic generation by means of solar panels in the context of microgrids. The objective is to use the Boost converter to raise and regulate the voltage generated by the panels, so that it serves as an input to a single-phase full-bridge inverter, for its subsequent connection to the electricity grid, or for its operation in Standalone mode feeding a load. The designed controllers are validated by means of computer simulation, verifying that they fulfill the requirements of maximum overshoot and settling time. The results obtained prove that the designed controllers have an acceptable transient response to disturbances in the system input.
