Complex Dynamics and Hard Limiter Control of a Fractional-Order Buck-Boost System

Chaos and control analysis for the fractional-order nonlinear circuits is a recent hot topic. In this study, a fractional-order model is deduced from a Buck-Boost converter, and its discrete solution is obtained based on the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Chaotic dynamic characteristics of the fractional-order system are investigated by the bifurcation diagram, 0-1 test, spectral entropy (SE) algorithm, and NIST test. Meanwhile, the control of the fractional-order Buck-Boost model is discussed through two different ways, namely, the intensity feedback and the hard limiter control. Specifically, the hard limiter control can be realized using a current limiter in the circuit, where the current limiter device is applied to control the branch current. The results show that the proposed fractional-order system has complex dynamic behaviors and potential application values in the engineering field
