A Multiobjective Feedback Linearization Control of a Cuk Converter

Cuk converter is one of the most common power electronic converters, but its controller design has always been a challenging problem due to its fourth-order nonlinear and nonminimum phase characteristics. In order to solve this problem, this article proposes a multiobjective feedback linearization control method, which selects the variables of interest to rebuild the output function to linearize the nonlinear system into a combination of a linear subsystem and a nonlinear subsystem. According to the structural characteristics of these two subsystems, the linear optimal control theory is adopted for the control design of the linear subsystem to make the original nonlinear system have a good output performance, while for the nonlinear subsystem, the coefficient of the output function is adjusted to ensure the stability of the original nonlinear system. The results of simulation and experiment show the feasibility and superiority of using the multiobjective feedback linearization control method to design the nonlinear control law of the Cuk converter.
