5. Conclusion
An integral sliding mode control of a DC-DC buck converter feeding a resistive electronic load has been presented in this paper which proficiently achieves the aim of containing the switching frequency variations caused in conventional SMC system due to load and supply variations.The system under consideration was simulated under varying load and supply voltage operating conditions.Detailed comparative analysis of the ISMC was performed alongside a conventional SMC. The output voltage regulation under such operating conditions was found to be satisfactory with ISMC exhibiting slightly greater overshoot in voltage response during start-up than in conventional SMC. However, the average switching frequency variation with ±13.33% changes in supply voltage is greatly reduced from 19% in conventional SMC buck converter system to 1.2 %in ISMC. Thus, ISMC exhibits almost fixed frequency operation and provides an efficient means of implementing sliding mode control for DC-DC buck converter.
