Comparison between a backstepping mode control and a sliding mode control for a boost DC-DC converter of a photovoltaic panel

This paper focuses on the development of renewable energy systems. The main goal is the optimal exploitation from photovoltaic panels. Therefore, two robust control laws will be applied on the DC-DC boost converter in order to maintain a robust output voltage regulation. The first part of this communication is devoted to the backstepping mode control. In the second part, we will present the sliding mode control. Finally, we will present simulations to illustrate the validity of the proposed approaches and to compare their performances.
