In this paper, the stability and evolutionary trend of Hopf bifurcations are investigated thoroughly for the double-input SEPIC DC–DC converter with one-cycle control (OCC), which is widely used in hybrid power systems. By means of cycle-by-cycle simulations, the evolutionary trend of bifurcation behaviors is identified. The inherent mechanisms of two types of bidirectional Hopf bifurcations are uncovered based on the proposed averaged model. Moreover, stability boundaries in the parameter space are derived with the help of eigenvalue analysis to optimize the circuit design. Furthermore, some important indices with respect to coupling effects are evaluated to assess the coupling effects in the system. Finally, PSpice circuit experiments are performed to verify the bifurcation analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
