| الوصف: | With the qualitative development of DC microgrids, the usage of different loads with unique conditions and features is now possible in electric power grids. Due to the negative impedance features of some loads, which are called constant power loads (CPLs), the control of DC power converters faces huge challenges from a stability point of view. Despite the significant advances in semiconductors, there is no upgrade in the control of gate drivers to exploit all potential of power electronic systems. In this paper, quantum computations are incorporated into artificial intelligence (AI) to stabilize a full-bridge (FB) DC-DC boost converter feeding CPL. Aiming to improve the bus voltage stabilization of the FB DC-DC boost converter, a quantum deep reinforcement learning (QDRL) control methodology is developed. By defining a reward function according to the specification of the FB power converter, the desired performance and control objectives are fulfilled. The main task of QDRL is to adjust the control coefficients embedded in the feedback controller to suppress the negative impedance effect resulting from deploying the CPLs. By deploying the potential advantages of quantum fundamentals, the deep reinforcement learning improved by quantum specifications will not only enhance the performance of the DRL algorithm on conventional processes but also advance related research areas such as quantum computing and AI. Unlike the basic quantum theory, which requires real quantum hardware, QDRL can be executed on classic computers. To examine the feasibility of the QDRL scheme, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) examinations are conducted using the OPAL-RT. The comparison of the proposed controller with the classic state-of-the-art methodologies reveals the superiority and feasibility of QDRL-based control schemes in both the transient and steady-state conditions to other schemes. Analysis using various performance criteria, including the integral absolute error (IAE), integral time absolute error (ITAE), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE), demonstrates the dynamic improvement of the proposed scheme over sliding mode control (approximately 50%) and proportional integral control (approximately 100%). |
