Multi-level DC-DC converters have been widely used in automotive and other high-power applications. Thus, the control of these multi-level converters is an emerging thematic in power electronics to ensure their proper functioning. This paper provides a novel nonlinear control of a DC-DC three level boost converter (T-LBC) based on a backstepping (BS) technique with an integral action and is optimized using genetic algorithms (GA). Firstly, the average state model of the T-LBC is described. Then, this model is used to design an integral BS controller; nevertheless, the controller parameters are often determined manually, which may degrade the control quality. A genetic algorithm-based optimization method is applied to establish the best controller gains and improve the proposed controller efficiency. The asymptotic stability converter is verified using the Lyapunov method criteria. In order to validate the introduced controller under different scenarios, the Matlab/Simulink environment is used. In addition, it is compared with different controllers such as conventional backstepping, fuzzy logic, and proportional-integral-derivate (PID) controllers under varying references to highlight its performance further. Finally, the designed controller is verified experimentally by implementing it using a dSPACE 1104 control board. The simulation and experimental results show that the optimized integral BS controller presents the best performances in terms of settling time, overshoot and steady-state error.INDEX TERMS Three level boost DC-DC converter, nonlinear control, integral backstepping, genetic algorithms, tuning.MOHAMED BAGHDADI received the B.S. degree in industrial informatics and electronics from Mohammed First University, Oujda, Morocco, in 2015, and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakesh, Morocco, in 2017, he is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and energy efficiency with the Electrical Systems, Energy Efficiency and Telecommunications Laboratory.

“…This work builds on the model developed in [34,35]; the modeling of IGBT under MATLAB/SIMULINK is based on behavioral analysis. This type of modeling consists of replacing the power component with an electrical network composed of elements such as inductances, resistors, capacities, current and voltage generators, etc.…”

“…According to [34], the electric IGBT model is a hybrid transistor that incorporates the advantages of both a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) at its input and a BJT at its output. This results in the IGBT having high voltage-handling capabilities, low conduction losses of the BJT, and low power control advantages of the MOSFET.…”

Accurate models of power electronic converters can greatly enhance the accuracy of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators. This can result in faster and more cost-effective design cycles in industrial applications. This paper presents a detailed hardware model of the IGBT and power diode at the device level suggested for emulating power electronic converters on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The static visualization of the IGBT component involves an arrangement of equivalent models for both the MOSFET and bipolar transistor in a cascading configuration. The dynamic aspect is represented by inter-electrode nonlinear capacitances. In an effort to expedite the development process while still producing reliable results, the algorithm for the simulation system was built utilizing FPGA-based rapid prototyping via the HDL Coder in MATLAB software (R2019b). Essentially, the HDL Coder transforms the Simulink blocks of these devices within MATLAB into a hardware description language (HDL) suitable for implementation on an FPGA. To evaluate the suggested IGBT hardware model and the nonlinear circuit simulation technique, a chopper circuit is replicated, and an FPGA-in-the-loop simulation is carried out to compare the efficacy and accuracy of the model with both offline simulation results and real-time simulation results using MATLAB Simulink software and the Altera FPGA Cyclone IV GX development board.
