Abstract:Aiming at the great influence of output capacitor equivalent series resistance ( ESR) on the performance of converters,the piecewise linear model is established by taking V2C controlled Buck converter for example. Jacobi matrix and its eigenvalues are derived,and the critical ESR is given when the stable state of converter transfers to the unstable state. The results show that the inductance current is introduced as the feedback in V2C control,which broadens the range of stability. The obtained conclusions can provide a guidance for DC - DC converter design and device selection in distributed generation systems.
