Optimal Selection of Switch Model Parameters for ADC-Based Full-Bridge Converter

The incorporation of real-time Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulators has become one of the pillars of the power electronics control design cycle. This integration is necessary to verify the effectiveness of controller implementations. Despite the rapid evolution in FPGA devices' computational capacity employed by Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) tools, developers are consistently faced with the need to strike a balance between acceptable accuracy and the practicality of implementing models and techniques. The methodology presented in this paper is for implementing a full-bridge converter using the Associate Discrete Circuit (ADC) model, specifically designed for real-time simulator applications. Furthermore, this study presents a novel methodology for parameter selection of (ADC) parameters utilizing the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC). The utilization of the ADC-based model facilitates the establishment of a uniform converter topology during simulation, irrespective of the switch states. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the introduced methodology in selecting optimal parameters for an ADC switch-based full-bridge converter, reducing overshoot in the converter's output voltage and current.
