Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control-Based Voltage Controller for Buck and Boost DC/DC Converters in DC Distribution Grids by Asimenia Korompili, Oemer Ekin, Marija Stevic, Veit Hagenmeyer, Antonello Monti

“…This paper presents a voltage controller for the buck and boost DC/DC DER-interfacing converters that operate in voltage control mode, acting as DC grid-forming converters. A linear active disturbance rejection control (L-ADRC) model is proposed, consisting of an augmented Kalman filter for the state and disturbance estimation, an adaptive state reference trajectory generator and a linear quadratic regulator as feedback controller. …”
