This paper focuses on the integration of classical power electronics and control courses by revisiting the modeling and analysis of a dc-dc boost converter. The boost converter serves as a single plant that encompasses various control concepts. Power electronics and control are highly important subjects for modern electrical and electronic engineers. However, traditional courses often fail to establish a connection between these subjects, leaving out certain topics and making it challenging for students to grasp crucial concepts. This paper aims to assist students in bridging this gap. A comprehensive step-by-step modeling and analysis approach is presented, focusing on explaining key points that are often overlooked in textbooks. After each important concept explanation, exercises are proposed to enhance learning and broaden students' perspectives.
