IntroductionIn today's technology worldwide, lots of changes are happening in almost all the domains. Most of the domains run on electric power which is being generated using sources like thermal, coal, nuclear, gas and so on. But these sources are non-renewable sources that results in shortage of electric power in long run. Since the world is addicted to usage of technology and if there is no power available over which technology runs, world is going to end with traditional life style, and therefore the existing technology is working on some findings using which electric power is generated from renewable sources like solar energy, wind energy and fuel cell, etc. [1][2][3]. Output of these sources are DC power which can be stored using batteries when excess power is generated and at the same time when no power is available then power stored in batteries can be taken back for the loads also the energy generated by these renewable sources is fluctuating Abstract This article presents the characterization of analog and digital control loops using PID/ PIDN control algorithms for bidirectional buck-boost converter (BBC). Control loops of BBC are designed and implemented in MATLAB code using transfer functions in time domain with unit step response and in frequency domain with bode plots and pole-zero plots. These transfer functions are obtained by average large signal modeling of BBC. Actions of analog and digital control loops are characterized in order to ensure stability and dynamic response of BBC which is a bottleneck in renewable energy applications. Improvement in dynamic response and stability of BBC with PIDN control algorithm is demonstrated using bode plots, pole-zero plots, and step response. Control loop gain due to transfer functions of power stage and controllers is demonstrated, and it is found stable in both analog and digital control loops. PIDN compensator is proposed to maintain a healthy balance between the stability and transient behavior since both are indirectly proportional. BBC is modeled using average large signal modeling technique, simulated using MATLAB tool, and analysis of dynamic and stability response is done through unit step input, bode plot, and pole-zero plot. Hardware is designed and implemented using TMS320F28335 controller.
