Q1. A boost type dc-dc power converter has an open loop control to output transfer function of the following form:

 s  s 
1  1  
vˆo ( s)  z  a 
Tp (s)  G(s)  k
dˆ ( s )  2 
1  s  s 
 Q o2 
 o

It is given that ωz = 5570 Hz; ωa = 2100 Hz; ωo = 205 Hz; Q = 2.62 and k = 29.6. It is required to design a compensator
for this power converter having the following specifications:

(a) Bandwidth (gain crossover frequency) is desired to be > 1 kHz (6280 rad/s).
(b) Accommodate transient overshoot up to 15 to 16%.
(c) Steady-state error is desired to be less than 1%.

A modulator with Tm(s) = 1 is used in the closed loop system. Design a compensator to achieve the above specifications
using the following two approaches: [In both the approaches, draw the relevant Bode plots where ever necessary]

i. Use an appropriate compensator for Tc(s), as discussed in the class. Use K-factor approach. Provide the values
of all the components required in the compensator circuit.

ii. Use two state approach, where Tc(s) = Tc1(s).Tc2(s) (cascaded compensator). In the first stage, design T c1(s)
to achieve specifications (a) and (b). In the second stage, design T c2(s) to achieve specification (c).

Useful suggestions for part (ii):

 s 
1  
  z1 
A. Use Tc1 ( s )  k1 ; choose ωz1 = ωo and ωp1 = 10 ωz1
 s 
1  
  p1 
 
 s 
1  
  z 2 
B. Use Tc 2 ( s )  (i.e. a PI controller); Use ωp2 = ωz2
 s 
 
  p2 
 
Important:

a. Steady-state error ≈ 1/T(0)

b. A phase margin of 45o 15 to 16% transient overshoot.
