In addition, losses dissipation and voltage drops caused a deviation between the theoretical and actual output voltage of this converter. For improvement of the converter performance along with the current and voltage regulations, a nonlinear controller is required. This suggested controller is proper to inherently variable structure of the converter and can cope with nonlinearities associated with its model. The goal is to ensure a satisfactory response for the converter. The practical results showed that the proposed strategy helps to eliminate the voltage error along with continuous current operation of the converter in very light loads and high switching frequency in different operating points.
