Passivity-based adaptive controllers are presented for the stabilisation of
the buck quasiresonant convertor. Both direct and indirect voltage regulat
ion schemes are addressed. The circuit components of the convertor are assu
med constant but unknown. The adaptive controllers are designed based on th
e average model of the convertor arid follow the 'energy shaping Plus dampi
ng injection' ideas of the passivity-based approach. Simulation results are
presented to illustrate the features of these proposed adaptive controller
s.
