5.1 Introduction :
A proportional-integral controller (PI controller) is a generic control loop feedback
mechanism widely used in industrial control systems. A PI controller attempts to correct the
error between a measured process variable and a desired set point by calculating and then
outputting a corrective action that can adjust the process accordingly.
The PI controller calculation involves two parameters; the Proportional, the Integral
values. The Proportional value determines the reaction to the current error, the Integral
determines the reaction based on the sum of recent errors and the Derivative determines thereaction to the rate at which the error has been changing. The weighted sum of these three
actions is used to adjust the process via a control element such as the position of a control valve
or the power supply of a heating element. By "tuning" the three constants in the PI requirements.
The response of the controller can be described in terms of the controller algorithm the PI can
provide control action designed for specific process responsiveness of the controller to an error,
the degree to which the controller overshoots the set point and the degree of system oscillation.
5.2 PI controllers:
5.2.1 Proportional term:
The proportional term makes a change to the output that is proportional to the current
error value. The proportional response can be adjusted by multiplying the error by a constant Kp,
called the proportional gain.
The proportional term is given by :
P out = K p e(t) ( 4.1)
Where
Pout : Proportional output
Kp : Proportional Gain, a tuning parameter

e : Error = SP PV
t : Time or instantaneous time (the present)
A high proportional gain results in a large change in the output for a given change in the
error. If the proportional gain is too high, the system can become unstable (See the section on
Loop Tuning) In contrast, a small gain results in a small output response to a large input error,
and a less responsive (or sensitive) controller. If the proportional gain is too low, the control
action may be too small when responding to system disturbances.
In the absence of disturbances pure proportional control will not settle at its target value,
but will retain a steady state error that is a function of the proportional gain and the process gain.
Despite the steady-state offset, both tuning theory and industrial practice indicate that it is the
proportional term that should contribute the bulk of the output change.
5.2.2 Integral term:
The contribution from the integral term is proportional to both the magnitude of the error
and the duration of the error. Summing the instantaneous error over time (integrating the error)
gives the accumulated offset that should have been corrected previously. The accumulated error
is then multiplied by the integral gain and added to the controller output. The magnitude of the
contribution of the integral term to the overall control action is determined by the integral gain,
K i.
The integral term is given by:
I out =K
Where
Iout : Integral outputK i : Integral Gain, a tuning parametere : Error = SP PV : Time in the past contributing to the integral response

The integral term (when added to the proportional term) accelerates the movement of the
process towards set point and eliminates the residual steady-state error that occurs with a
proportional only controller. However, since the integral term is responding to accumulated
errors from the past, it can cause the present value to overshoot the set point value (cross over the
set point and then create a deviation in the other direction). For further notes regarding integral
gain tuning and controller stability, see the section on Loop Tuning .
The output from the three terms, the proportional, and the integral terms are summed to
calculate the output of the PI controller.
Fig:5.2.1 Discrete PI controller
First estimation is the equivalent of the proportional action of a PI controller. The integral
action of a PI controller can be thought of as gradually adjusting the output when it is almost
right. Derivative action can be thought of as making smaller and smaller changes as one gets
close to the right level and stopping when it is just right, rather than going too far. Making a
change that is too large when the error is small is equivalent to a high gain controller and will
lead to overshoot. If the controller were to repeatedly make changes.
Those were too large and repeatedly overshoot the target, this control loop would be
termed unstable and the output would oscillate around the set point in either a constant, a
growing or a decaying sinusoid. A human would not do this because we are adaptive controllers,
learning from the process history, but PI controllers do not have the ability to learn and must be

set up correctly. Selecting the correct gains for effective control is known as tuning the
controller.
If a controller starts from a stable state at zero error (PV = SP), then further changes by the
controller will be in response to changes in other measured or unmeasured inputs to the process
that impact on the process, and hence on the PV. Variables that impact on the process other than
the MV are known as disturbances and generally controllers are used to reject disturbances
and/or implement set point changes.
In theory, a controller can be used to control any process which has a measurable output
(PV), a known ideal value for that output (SP) and an input to the process (MV) that will affect
the relevant PV. Controllers are used in industry to regulate temperature, pressure, flow rate,
chemical composition, level in a tank containing fluid, speed and practically every other variable
for which a measurement exists. Automobile cruise control is an example of a process outside of industry which utilizes automated control. K p: Proportional Gain - Larger K p typically means
faster response since the larger the error, the larger the feedback to compensate. An excessively
large proportional gain will lead to process instability. K i: Integral Gain Larger K i implies steady
state errors are eliminated quicker. The trade-off is larger overshoot: any negative error
integrated during transient response must be integrated away by positive error before we reach
steady state. K d: Derivative Gain - Larger K d decreases overshoot, but slows down transient
response and may lead to instability
5.2.3 Loop tuning:
If the PI controller parameters (the gains of the proportional, integral terms) are chosen
incorrectly, the controlled process input can be unstable, i.e. its output diverges, with or without
oscillation, and is limited only by saturation or mechanical breakage. Tuning a control loop is the
adjustment of its control parameters (gain/proportional band, integral gain/reset) to the optimum
values for the desired control response.
Some processes must not allow an overshoot of the process variable beyond the set point
if, for example, this would be unsafe. Other processes must minimize the energy expended in
reaching a new set point. Generally, stability of response (the reverse of instability) is required
and the process must not oscillate for any combination of process conditions and set points.

If the system must remain online, one tuning method is to first set the I value to zero.
Increase the P until the output of the loop oscillates, and then the P should be left set to be
approximately half of that value for a "quarter amplitude decay" type response. Then increase I
until any offset is correct in sufficient time for the process. However too much I will cause
instability. Finally, increase D, if required, until the loop is acceptably quick to reach its
reference after a load disturbance. However too much D will cause excessive response and
overshoot. A fast PI loop tuning usually overshoots slightly to reach the set point more quickly;
however, some systems cannot accept overshoot, in which case a "critically damped" tune is
required, which will require a P setting significantly less than half that of the P setting causing
oscillation.

5.2.4 Limitations of PI control
While PI controllers are applicable to many control problems, they can perform poorly
in some applications. PI controllers, when used alone, can give poor performance when the PI
loop gains must be reduced so that the control system does not overshoot, oscillate or "hunt"
about the control set point value. The control system performance can be improved by
combining the PI controller functionality with that of a Feed-Forward control output as described
in Control Theory. Any information or intelligence derived from the system state can be "fed
forward" or combined with the PI output to improve the overall system performance. The Feed-
Forward value alone can often provide a major portion of the controller output. The PI controller
can then be used to respond to whatever difference or "error" that remains between the controllerset point and the feedback value. Since the Feed-Forward output is not a function of the process
feedback, it can never cause the control system to oscillate, thus improving the system response
and stability.
Another problem faced with PI controllers is that they are linear. Thus, performance of PI
controllers in non-linear systems (such as HVAC systems) is variable. Often PI controllers are
enhanced through methods such as gain scheduling or fuzzy logic. Further practical application
issues can arise from instrumentation connected to the controller. A high enough sampling rate
and measurement precision and measurement accuracy (more relevant to FF and MPC).
A problem with the differential term is that small amounts of measurement or process
noise can cause large amounts of change in the output. Sometimes it is helpful to filter the
measurements, with a running average, also known as a low-pass filter. However, low-pass
filtering and derivative control cancel each other out, so reducing noise by instrumentation
means is a much better choice. Alternatively, the differential band can be turned off in most
systems with little loss of control. This is equivalent to using the PI controller as a PIDcontroller.

Fig 5.3.2(a): Switch current waveforms .
The current waveforms are shown in Fig. 4.3.2(a). The waveform with large magnitude
denotes the current flowing through the low-frequency switch i sa, and the small magnitude is the
current of the high-frequency switch i s. The load is changed from 4 to 2 at the 12-ms time
instant. A major portion of the increased load current (shown in Fig. 4.3.2) is diverted to the low-
frequency buck cell, while the current through the high-frequency switch remains the same. The
current diversion enables the reduction of switching loss in high-frequency buck cell and
improves the efficiency .
5.4 Efficiency Analysis:
In order to analyze the efficiency improvement of the proposed Double Frequency
buck converter, the efficiency expression is analyzed in the section. The analysis is also appliedto the single high frequency buck and low-frequency buck converters.
A simple loss model is adopted here in that we just want to show the efficiency relationship
between the DF buck and single high-frequency buck, not to develop a new loss model
In the analysis, we have the following assumptions;

1. The conduction losses of active switch and diode are estimated, respectively,
according to their conduction voltages U on and U F.
2. The switching transient processes are assumed to satisfy the linear current and
voltage waveforms. Moreover, the turn-on time ton is the same for all switches and
diodes, so is the turn-off time t off .
3. Since the switching loss usually dominates the total loss, losses of the output
capacitor and output inductor are not calculated here.
In a single-frequency buck converter, the total loss P SF comes from four parts, the
conduction loss P scon and switching loss P ss of the active switch S , and the conduction loss P dcon
and switching loss P sd of the diode. When the input voltage is U in, duty ratio is D, the inductor
average current is I L, and the switching frequency is fs, the losses can be estimated according to
the following equations.
4.4.1(a)
4.4.1(b)
4.4.1(c)
4.4.1(b)
For single-frequency buck converter, the conduction losses are the same; the difference ison the switching frequencies f h and f l . For DF buck, the losses consist of two portions: highfrequency cell losses and low-frequency cell losses. The current chopped by the high-frequencycell is the difference between high-frequency inductor current i L and low-frequency inductorcurrent i La . This difference is roughly equal to 0.5 I Lapk , where I Lapk is the peak peak low-
frequency inductor current ripple, because the inductor current ripple of the high-frequency cellis small compared with that of the low-frequency cell. Moreover, the average current in low-frequency inductor is I L 0.5 I Lapk with the peak current control. The loss break down can beexpressed as follows:
The losses in the high-frequency cell are,

( ) 4.4.3(c) 4.4.3(d)
Then, from (24) (26), the total conduction loss P conDF in the DF buck is approximately the
same as that in the single frequency buck converter,
4.4.4
In the case the low-frequency inductor current is small with reference to the inductor average
current, the total switching loss P sDF can be approximated as,
4.4.5
It follows from (4.4.2) (4.4.5) that the total conduction loss of DF buck converter is the
same as the single-frequency buck conductor. This result also can be reasoned from the fact that
the total currents owing through the DF buck switches and diodes are the same as that through a
single-frequency buck. On the other hand, the total switching loss is nearly the same as the single
low-frequency buck, and is much smaller than that of the single high-frequency buck. Hence, the
DF buck converter improves the efficiency by current diversion to the low-frequency cell.Although assumptions and approximations are made in the aforementioned analysis, it reveals
the efficiency mechanism of the DF buck converter.
