An exact nonlinear discrete-time model is used to develop multirate nonlinear controllers and observers based on map-inversion concepts. This nonlinear design methodology is widely applicable, requiring only that the continuous-time small-signal average model be controllable and observable.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123964338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
