I. INTRODUCTION
Dc-Dc Converters are utilized in :
Adjustable speed drives, switched-mode power supplies, Many other applications.

They are subjected to large load variations when operated in these applications. Main objective of a good control strategy is to have: (i) Good output voltage regulation, under large load variations.

(ii) Defined stability properties.

INTRODUCTION (Continued)
Existing control strategies in the literature. (i) Linearized small-signal model based methods exhibit poor performance when the system is subjected to a large load variations
(ii) Sliding-mode control has the following drawbacks:

(a) precision state variable sensing is essential; (b) switching frequency changes significantly; (c) steady-state errors exist in the state variables; (d) chattering phenomena.

INTRODUCTION (Continued)
Fuzzy control suffers from the lack of well-defined criteria for deciding on the shape of the membership functions, the number of linguistic values, the standard rule base and inference mechanism and defuzzification method. In this paper, a PI-type self-tuning fuzzy control (STFC) strategy is presented for a dc-dc boost converter. In STFC method, the output gain is adjusted on-line by using fuzzy rules according to the current trend of the controlled converter.

The control problem is to determine a control signal d that achieves: (i) a good output voltage regulation in the presence of disturbances. (ii) improve the damping and reduce the recovery time by decreasing the overshoots and undershoots.

Constructing the rule base for computing

In order to obtain a lower overshoot and reduce settling time, the controller gain is set to a small value when the error is large. IF e is PL and e is NS THEN is VS

When the process reaches the reference point but it is moving away upward from the reference point rapidly, a large gain is needed to prevent its upward motion which
results in a smaller overshoot as well . IF e is Z and e is NM THEN is L

Membership Functions (MF)

The following MFs are used Note that in the implementation, only the MFs shown in (a) are sufficient. The MFs shown in (b) can be obtained from the following formula: y=0.5(x+1)

Self-Tuning Procedure
Step1: Set =1 and tune the scaling gains until a reasonable response is obtained for the boost converter. Note that when =1 the STFC is turned into a conventional FC. In this step, first Ge must be selected so that es covers the entire range [-1, 1]. Secondly, Gd and Go must be tuned until a good transient response is achieved. Step2 (1): Keep the values of Ge and Gd same as determined in step 1. Set the output gain Go nearly 1.2 times greater than that obtained in step 1. Note that this enhancement of Go is found empirically so as to obtain the same rise time as that of conventional FC. Step3: Tune the rules for further depending on the type of response wanted to obtain

Conclusions
STFC strategy has been presented for dc-dc boost converters. It can be concluded that the STFC
requires shorter developing time without using burdensome fuzzy developing tools. exhibits excellent transient response performance. depends neither on the converter being controlled nor on the controller used. Exhibits no steady-state error in the output voltage.
