A comparative study of two adaptive current-mode controllers for a high-order hybrid-type dc-dc boost converter is presented. The implementation of the traditional current-mode controller for this converter requires the knowledge of the nominal value of the load resistance to compute the control signal. As such, it is unable to handle systems with uncertain loads well. To address this, an adaptive law is used to estimate the load conductance in order to generate the reference current input. In this adaptive law, the derivative of the estimator is optimised as well as bounded. Moreover, the converter has two inductor currents which can be used for feedback purposes. Considering this, two adaptive current-mode controllers using the input and output inductor currents of the converter are separately designed to find the most appropriate inductor current for the implementation of the proposed controller. Finally, some simulation and experimental results comparing the performance of the adaptive controller using the output inductor current with that of the traditional current-mode controller are also presented.
