Multicell Chopper

On the basis of benchmarks developed at ECS-lab (ENSEA Cergy), we intend to work on the control and observation of serial and parallel multicell choppers, as well as more usual power converters. These power electronic systems associated with their respective loads are typical hybrid dynamical systems and many industrial and/or theoretical challenging problems occur. For example, in the industrial problem of power supply for a supercomputer, the parallel multicell chopper appears as a new solution particularly with respect to the power efficiency. Nevertheless, the observation and control of such hybrid dynamical systems is a difficult task, where non asymptotic estimation and control can be useful.
