On the experimental implementation of a nonlinear adaptive observer

Abstract

This paper deals with the implementation of an output current estimator for a DC-DC Multiplier Boost Converter (MBC). For that purpose, a real time platform is used for solving the dynamic equations of a nonlinear adaptive observer. Excellent performance is achieved even during demanding conditions. In particular, a reliable estimation is obtained when an experimental nonlinear dynamic system is utilized as an electric load connected at the converter terminals.
