Fractional-order control of three level boost DC/DC converter used in hybrid energy storage system for electric vehicles

Fractional order calculus in controller design became highly used in several research fields during the last decade. This paper deals with the fractional-order control of a three level boost DC/DC converter used in hybrid energy storage system for electric vehicles. A fractional order PID controller is proposed to control the storage system through the DC/DC converter. The mathematical description of the fractional-order PID controller and the three level DC/DC Boost converter and their simulation in Matlab/Simulink are shown as well.
