The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

IEEE In this paper, a partial update Kalman Filter (PUKF) is presented for the real-time parameter estimation of a DC-DC switch-mode power converter (SMPC). The proposed estimation algorithm is based on a novel combination between the classical Kalman filter and a M-Max partial adaptive filtering technique. The proposed PUKF offers a significant reduction in computational effort compared to the conventional implementation of the Kalman Filter (KF), with 50% less arithmetic operations. Furthermore, the PUKF retains comparable overall performance to the classical KF. To demonstrate an efficient and cost effective explicit self-tuning controller, the proposed estimation algorithm (PUKF) is embedded with a B?ny?sz/Keviczky PID controller to generate a new computationally light self-tuning controller. Experimental and simulation results clearly show the superior dynamic performance of the explicit self-tuning control system compared to a conventional pole placement design based on a pre-calculated average model.
