Abstract: Control of dc/dc buck converter is a complex task due to the nonlinearity inherent in the converter and introduced by the external changes. A robust synergetic controller for the control of dc/dc buck converter is described in this study. An adaptive terminal synergetic control is developed based on robust synergetic control theory and terminal attractor techniques. The method estimates the boundary of parameter uncertainty and external disturbance by adaptive law. The idea behind this strategy is to use the terminal synergetic control (TSYC) approach to assure finite time convergence of the output voltage error to the equilibrium point, and integrate an adaptive law to handle uncertainties is provided resulting in enhancing robustness as well as a better transient performance compared to the conventional control. In addition, modified PSO algorithms will be used to optimise controller's parameters using an ITAE criterion. The results show and demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approach.
