Abstract :
Due to the many applications of DC to DC converters in electronics, regulating their output voltage is very important. In many applications it is necessary to change the DC voltage from one level to another. DC -DC converters are used for this purpose. The conversion of DC voltage from one level to another is done by switching elements such as transistors and diodes. Recently, the control of these converters has found a special place in scientific texts. Therefore, one of the objectives of this paper is to control and regulate the output voltage of the converter. The controller proposed in this paper to control the DC voltage level of the converter output is an optimized neural network controller with an algorithm based on colonial competition. The proposed controller function is that first the neural network is designed according to the expected goals of the system and then it is optimized by determining a suitable multi-objective benchmark function using the network structure optimization algorithm. This improves the performance of the control system. Because the proper selection of design parameters has a great role in the performance of the neural network that plays the role of controller. The proposed neural network function is to apply the appropriate signal transducer (PWM signal) to the switching elements in order to increase the performance. The results compared to the PID controller indicate the superiority of the proposed method.
