Abstract: DC-DC converters are widely used in many consumer electronic devices such as computers, medical equipment, battery chargers, cellular phones and many Industrial drives. These electronic devices require different voltage levels which is supplied from battery or some external supply. In multiple battery mission voltage decays as its stored energy is drained and requires large saving space. The switched DC-DC converters overcome these drawbacks and also regulate the output voltage for different power levels efficiently. This paper elaborates the structure of Luo converter with optimized PI controller. Positive Output Elementary Luo Converter (POELC) is designed for boost operation by choosing the appropriate duty cycle. The PI controller parameters are optimized using Cuckoo and Crow search algorithms. The proposed control methods are investigated for the transient and steady state region. The sensitivity of these controllers to supply load and line disturbances are also studied along with the servo response are presented. The controller incorporates a Luo converter is evaluated in terms of Integral Time Square Error (ITSE) and Integral Time Absolute Error. Dynamic modelling of the power converter is derived by using state space averaging method. The simulation model of the Luo converter with its control circuit is implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Experimental result shows that Cuckoo PI controller has significantly performance improvement in comparison with both the conventional and Crow PI controller.
