Abstract: This work investigates the application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization for the design of Type compensators utilizing the dual-loop control scheme. The proposed Type compensators integrate the ABC optimization for regulating the closed-loop operation of a DC-DC buck converter. Such an integration of ABC optimization, aids in effectively regulating the output voltage and inductor current, besides ensuring enhanced time domain criteria. The proposed dual-loop control scheme consists of a current loop and a voltage loop. The current loop regulates the inductor current and the voltage loop regulates the output voltage.The efficacy of the proposed method is revealed through extensive simulation and experimental investigation under start-up response, step perturbations in external load. The experimentation is conducted on a laboratory prototype using dspace DS1104 control board.
