Bio-inspired PSO technique applied to PID sintonization for powerfactor correction in a Boost Converter

This paper focuses on the problem of power factor correction in boost topology power converters with average current control, without the need for a mathematical model of the system, PFC is performed by a PID controller, tuned with a bio-inspired algorithm, the controller parameters are randomly initialized in a reduced sector of the search space, made up of the derivative, proportional, integral ...
