Abstract

This paper deals with the Hopf bifurcation phenomena in DC-DC Buck converters with proportional-integral (PI) voltage control. An averaged model is derived to describe the nonlinear dynamics of the converters. Based on the averaged model, Hopf bifurcation is identified, and the corresponding bifurcation point is predicted with the help of Routh stability criterion. Moreover, the analytical expressions for the oscillating frequency and the oscillating amplitude at the bifurcation point are given. These results are very helpful in the optimum design of the circuit parameters and the improvement of the system performance. Finally, the theoretical results are verified by the numerical simulations and circuit experiments.
