Enhancing robust control of DC-DC converters: adaptive super twisting control based on barrier function G. Indira Kishore, M. Venkatesh, Tummala S. L. V. Ayyarao International Journal of Electronics, 2026 This technical note introduces an innovative approach to address the challenges associated with designing robust controllers for DC-DC converters, particularly in scenarios where disturbances and their derivatives are unknown or difficult to quantify. Traditional robust controller designs rely heavily on precise knowledge of disturbance bounds, which may not always be practical. In response, this paper proposes an adaptive control strategy employing an Automatic Adaptive Gain Mechanism (AAGM) within a Super Twisting Control (STC) framework for SEPIC converters. The key contribution lies in the development of an Adaptive Super Twisting Controller (ASTC) utilising a barrier function to dynamically adjust controller gains without requiring prior knowledge of disturbance bounds or their derivatives. Through simulations and experimental validation, the efficacy of the proposed ASTC with AAGM is demonstrated in achieving robust performance under various operating conditions, including sudden changes in reference voltage, load variations, and input voltage fluctuations. The results highlight the capability of the ASTC with AAGM to optimise controller gains autonomously, thereby enhancing the converter’s dynamic response, reducing output voltage ripple, and ensuring stability across a wide range of operating conditions.
Sliding mode control for high voltage gain DC-DC converter in renewable energy systems Venkatesh Mudadla, Indira Kishore Guntuku, Phani Kumar Chittala Aip Conference Proceedings, 2025 Sliding mode controller (SMC) is implemented for a switched capacitor converter (SCC) aimed at achieving robust and efficient power regulation.SCC converters offer advantages such as high efficiency, small size, and reduced component count, making them suitable for various applications includes Electronic filters, Wireless sensor networks, DC micro-grids, Electric vehicles, Battery-operated Internet of Things (IoT) applications.However, their operation is highly nonlinear, susceptible to parameter variations, and subject to switching noise.To address these challenges, this paper proposes an SMC approach, leveraging the robustness and fast response characteristics of sliding mode control.The controller design focuses on regulating the output voltage while ensuring stability and minimizing the effects of disturbances and uncertainties.The simulation outcomes affirm the efficacy of the suggested SMC in achieving precise and resilient regulation across diverse operating scenarios, thereby confirming its suitability for real-world deployment in SCC converters.
Optimized Power Delivery and Generation in Smart Grids Using Reinforcement Learning-Based Energy Dispatch Strategies Venkataramana Guntreddi, Sonia Bankuru, Vijay Kumar M K, Ramakrishna S S Nuvvula, S. Vinson Joshua, Mudadla Venkatesh 13th IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Icsmartgrid 2025, 2025 In this paper, we propose a smart grid-based corporate-level energy management framework using reinforcement learning (RL). The goal is to realize improved economic performance, better renewable energy integration and greater security of dispatch operations with the help of this supportive tool. The model was reviewed with DQN and sighted for its excellent results in a year-long simulation. It was compared to the conventional methods Rule-Based (RB) and Linear Programming (LP) on an actual load, generation and market profiles. With DQN, a full 33.9% reduction in operational cost was achieved, renewables topped out at <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{9 0. 1 \%}$</tex>, and blackouts were reduced significantly in comparison to base strategies. Under different degrees of forecast accuracy, the RL method displayed robust stability and merely a 13.5% increase in cost at a 5% error rate. Multi-agent dispatch across distributed energy resources (DERs) achieved adaptive loading without heavy reliance on diesel power at high-demand periods. For example, in times of slow real-world changes, it you hold up a QB and long pass the ball into the end zone where there are no defensive backs left to cover your receive-well, that's just what we have at present. Despite disturbances such as PV outages and bursts in power consumption, the platform demonstrated real-time adaptability with an average recovery time of only <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{1 6. 5}$</tex> minutes. Stability indicators remained above <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{0. 8 9}$</tex>. Metrics for examining the system's resilience and scalability were compared in detail. All of these show us that the RL-based dispatch strategy can greatly improve future smart grids ‘ power delivery and stability / Box_0 / Notes. An method of intelligent control that can handle real-world uncertainties and market environments which keep changing dynamic is presented.

Improving Power Quality Using a PV-Based SEPIC Converter with a Unified Power Flow Controller E.B. Elanchezhian, Ch. Phani Kumar, M. Venkatesh, S. Pragaspathy, I V V Vijetha, Kalyan Sagar Kadali 2024 IEEE Flagship International BIT Conference Next Generation Applications in Green Energy Technology Bitcon 2024, 2024 Harmonic reduction techniques in outdated source current systems are defective and unfair when dealing with varying load conditions. These tasks arise from the occurrence of non-linear loads, leading to issues in harmonic mitigation. To address this, filters are engaged to reduce harmonics and improve power quality. Applying these filters for a dynamic response under variable load conditions can be expensive. Enhanced power system security and increased voltage stability under various load conditions are provided by the new Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC), that features both series and shunt compensating elements. Synchronized Reference Theory (SRF) is working to derive the reference current from the AC source current, making sinusoidal harmonics that respond to load harmonics. This UPFC is proficient in absorbing or injecting reactive power at the PCC. The DC link capacitor's voltage is maintained and raised by the PV system. The Photo Voltaic (PV) array's maximum power can be obtained using the Perturbs & Observe (P&O) MPPT strategy, and then applied to the SEPIC converter to enhance the voltage. D-Q theory, controlled by a hysteresis current controller, produces PWM pulses for the shunt and series compensators. This approach is executed using MATLAB R2021A software.
Dispatchable and Non-dispatchable Distributed Generation Reactive Power Coordination with Reactive Power-controlled Devices using Grey Wolf Optimizer Ramakrishna Raghutu, Mogaligunta Sankaraiah, Ramakrishna S S Nuvvula, M Venkatesh 11th IEEE International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications Icrera 2022, 2022 The deployment of Dispatchable and Non-dispatchable Distributed Generations (DDG & NDDG) affects Switching Operations (SOs) of Reactive Power Controlled Devices (RPCDs).Curtail of switching operations of RPCDs is possible with appropriate reactive power coordination between DDG, NDDG and RPCDs. This paper proposes a novel method, in which, load and output power of non-dispatchable distributed generation (NDDG) forecast one day in advance using single stage and three stage ANFIS models respectively, which helps in reactive power scheduling. Objective function formulated as a combination of power loss and SOs, Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm proposed for solving objective function and schedules the reactive power contribution of DDG& RPCDs. Doubly fed Induction generator (DFIG) based wind system is preferred for NDDG, Under Load Tap Changer (ULTC) and Shunt Capacitors (SCs) are preferred for RPCDs. The proposed method designed in MATLAB environment and implemented on 16 buses, 10kvsystem. Simulation results clearly depicts that this method is effectively achieved the goals compared with conventional and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques without violating the grid conditions.
A Robust Wide Area Control of DFIG Wind Energy System for Damping Inter-area Oscillations M. Venkatesh, Tummala.S.L.V. Ayyarao, B. Srinivasa Rao, Ramakrishna Raghutu, Ramakrishna S S Nuvvula 11th IEEE International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications Icrera 2022, 2022 Increased penetration of renewable energy systems and microgrids creates considerable uncertainty in the operation and regulation of power systems. Decent wind energy market share paved the way for innovative ways to damp power oscillations. This paper proposes a robust wide area control which regulates the active and reactive power output of DFIG wind energy system. The control law is based on smooth trigonometric functions and derived iteratively using lyapunov function. The performance of the proposed idea is evaluated on a benchmark two area test system. The simulation results for various operating scenarios show the efficacy and robustness of the proposed approach.
