Popis: The application of power electronic converter in the renewable energy systems significantly increases their efficiencies by maintaining the operation of these systems at the optimal operating points, therefore, absorbing the maximum available power from the renewable sources all the time. In this paper, the small-signal models of the open-loop, current-mode controlled boost converter are derived. In addition, both the Current Mode Control (CMC) and the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) methods are combined to design a controller that forces the input current of the converter to follow accurately a reference current, which could be generated using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms. The controller performance is tested under transient conditions and with disturbance signals using MATLAB/Simulink simulation package. The simulation results indicate that both a good response and disturbance rejection are achieved in tested conditions.
