Abstract: AI-based control techniques have been very popular since the beginning of the 90s. Usually, these techniques do not need any model to be designed. However, very few industrial applications used them. Recently there has been an increasing use of artificial neural networks in the area of power electronics and drives particularly because of their powerful learning abilities, optimization abilities and adaptation. This paper proposes a novel neural network controller for nonlinear power electronics circuits. Specifically it is proposed to deal with switched power electronics circuits, mostly constituting AC to DC power converters, DC to DC power converters of different topologies. Simple Simple and easy design and better performance as compared to other controllers are the most important features of proposed Neural Network Controller.
