The negative impedance characteristic of the constant power loads (CPLs) causes instability in DC/DC converters in the DC microgrids. To improve the stability of the DC/DC converter feeding CPLs, a robust and fast controller is required. This paper presents a robust pulse-width modulationbased type-II fuzzy controller for a DC/DC boost converter feeding the CPL in a DC microgrid. Theoretical analysis and real-time simulation are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed non-integer intelligent controller. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed intelligent controller for the DC/DC converter has a faster and more robust response in comparison to the previously suggested control techniques.
