Buck-boost converter with fractional control for electric vehicles

In this paper, non-integer order control is applied to improve the performance of a buck-boost dc-dc power converter with ultracapacitor based on state feedback techniques. The approach is based on stabilization in the Lyapunov's sense for linear rational-order systems. The ultracapacitor can overcome the classical problems of energy losses due to the use of batteries, giving more accuracy, autonomy and efficiency to the electrical vehicles.Peer Reviewe
