Novel and simple method for power electronics compensator design and optimization

The development of power converters leads to design the control loop. In order to reduce developing times, it is very useful to have an initial design criterion that lead to a stable feedback loop. In this paper a new concept for power electronics compensator design and optimization has been developed. This concept provides the different combinations of crossover frequency and phase margin which lead to stable solutions. On the other hand, in order to optimize the performance of the control loop, other optimization features are also provided, such as the relationship between the phase margin and the settling time when the crossover frequency is placed below the power stage resonant frequency.
