description A PID controller design using an internal model control (IMC) approach is a well-established method for controller tuning in a DC-DC boost converter. This study introduces an innovative implementation of a novel indirect Internal Model Control (IMC) strategy for PID controller design, tailored specifically for a DC-DC boost converter. While the indirect IMC approach has been documented in prior research, its application to boost converters signifies a substantial contribution to the field. The proposed method simplifies the tuning process by focusing exclusively on the plant shifting parameter ψ, thereby eliminating the need for an IMC filter. Optimal tuning is achieved through the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) method, which enhances the controller’s stability, robustness, and transient response in the presence of disturbances commonly encountered in boost converter operation. Extensive simulations are performed in a MATLAB Simulink environment to compare the performance of the GWO-based indirect IMC-PID controller with traditional PID and IMC-PID designs. Performance is assessed based on transient response parameters and performance indices, such as IAE, ISE, ITAE, and ITSE. Results reveal that the GWO-optimized indirect IMC-PID controller significantly outperforms conventional controllers, demonstrating enhanced servo and regulatory behaviors.
