This manuscript describes a swift control prototyping (SCP) approach implemented within an industrial setting, utilizing a DC-DC nonlinear quadratic buck converter (QBC) to decrease production expenses of electronic materials and devices while improving power system efficiency. A practical experimental setup is utilized to develop a working prototype, transforming 380 VDC to 48 VDC with a power capacity of up to 500 W. The setup incorporates dSPACE CP1103 to execute Model in the Loop (MIL), Software in the Loop (SIL), and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) methodologies. Additionally, it employs advanced control strategies such as passivity-based control (PCB) and canonical forms, which are compared with classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control arrangements to propose a comprehensive control scheme that ensures stability in the presence of real-time disturbances (RT). Finally, a performance analysis is conducted, assessing important indicators like reaction time, precision of signals, stability of the system, and efficiency in resource utilization. The document concludes by offering a performance evaluation that encompasses PI, Cp, CpK, Z-score, and ITAE. This assessment considers factors such as response time, signal accuracy, system stability, and the efficiency of resource utilization.

Continuous advancements in power conversion techniques address the growing need for efficiency and adaptability in contemporary energy applications, including e-mobility, renewable energy, and energy storage systems. This work presents a review grounded in the fundamental topologies of power converters and subsequently analyzes their modern modifications and technological advances. Traditional structures such as Buck, Boost, Ćuk, and flyback converters remain effective solutions for voltage and current regulation; however, they exhibit limitations when extremely high voltage conversion ratios are required. These constraints have motivated the emergence of more sophisticated architectures capable of overcoming such challenges. In this context, the paper provides a novel characterization and comparative analysis of quadratic and bidirectional converter topologies, emphasizing their capability to efficiently achieve both high and low conversion ratios while minimizing component stress and avoiding extreme load cycles. Quadratic converters demonstrate high performance in nonlinear systems with significant energy demands, whereas bidirectional converters enhance energy management in applications requiring bidirectional power flow, such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

This document introduces a rapid control prototyping (RCP) approach applied to the industrial sector using a non-linear Quadratic Buck Converter (QBC) DC-DC. The goal is to reduce manufacturing costs for materials and electronic devices while enhancing the power quality in the system’s response. An experimental setup is utilized to create a functional model, converting 380 VDC to 48 VDC at a power level of 500 W. dSPACE CP1103 is employed to implement Model in the Loop (MIL), Software in the Loop (SIL), and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) simulations. Modern control techniques, including sliding mode control (SMC) and passivity-based control (PBC), are employed to devise a robust control scheme capable of maintaining stability in real-time (RT) and resisting disturbances. The document concludes with a performance analysis, PI, Cp, CpK, Z-score, and ITAE considering response time, signal accuracy, system stability, and resource utilization efficiency.

This work presents a fractional order Proportional Integral and Derivative controller with adaptation characteristics in the control parameters depending on the required output, gain scheduling fractional order PID (GS-FO-PID). The fractional order PID is applied to the voltage control of a DC–DC buck quadratic converter (QBC). The DC–DC buck quadratic converter is designed to operate at 12 V, although in the simulation tests, the output voltage ranges from 5 to 36 V. The performance of the GS-FO-PID is compared with the one from a classic PID. The GS-FO-PID presents better performance when the reference voltage is changed. In the same way, the behavior of the converter with the reference fixed to 12 V output is analyzed with load changes; for this case, the amplitude value of the ripple when the converter is driven by the GS-FO-PID almost has no variation.
