A novel current-control method for three-phase PWM AC/DCvoltage-source converters

This paper presents a novel current-control-based control strategy, obtained in stationary frame, for a three-phase pulsewidth-modulated AC/DC voltage-source converter. In this control strategy, an error voltage is produced from the comparison of the output DC voltage with a DC reference voltage. This error voltage is then utilized by a proportional plus integral controller to generate a command signal for the input line current amplitude and is automatically controlled to the desired value. Therefore, there is no need to measure the input line currents. Stability analysis of the closed-loop system is made, and the stability region for proportional and integral gains which makes the operating point stable is also found. The resulting closed-loop system not only exhibits good transient response, but also provides sinusoidal line currents and unity power factor, both in the rectifying and regenerating modes. Experimental results are presented and compared with simulations     

DC voltage control and stability analysis of PWM-voltage-typereversible rectifiers

A PWM voltage rectifier has useful characteristics on its DC and AC sides. On its DC side, a DC-link unidirectional voltage is obtained and bidirectional power transfer capability is possible by reversing the flow direction of the DC-link current. On its AC side, near sinusoidal current waveforms and AC four-quadrant operation can be obtained, leading to high-quality power being exchanged between the power converter and the mains. The use of AC filters becomes unnecessary. The rectifier DC voltage must be regulated to a constant value. In this paper, three solutions for the DC voltage control are presented. In the first solution, the DC voltage is controlled by acting upon the quadrature component of the power converter fundamental Park's voltages with relation to the mains voltages. Slow responses are necessary because of stability reasons. Also, load power variations produce both active and reactive power variations in the power converter AC side. To improve the DC voltage response, a second control solution is presented. The power converter currents in Park's coordinates must be controlled. The DC voltage is controlled by controlling the direct Park's current component and, thus, acting only on the active power of the converter AC side. Faster responses are achieved. In this case, load power variations do not produce reactive power variations in the converter AC side. The third control solution is a simplified version of this last one. Experimental results from a 2 kVA IGBT-based prototype showing good system dynamic performance are presented     

AC voltage and current sensorless control of three-phase PWM rectifiers

In this paper, a novel control scheme of three-phase PWM rectifiers eliminating both the AC input voltage and current sensors is proposed. The phase angle and the magnitude of the source voltage are estimated by controlling the deviation between the rectifier current and its model current to be zero. The input currents can be reconstructed from switching states of the PWM rectifier and the measured DC link currents. To eliminate the calculation time delay effect of the microprocessor, the currents ahead one sampling period are estimated by a state observer and then are used for feedback control. The proposed control scheme reduces the system cost and improves its reliability. The feasibility of the proposed AC sensorless technique for three-phase PWM rectifiers has been verified through experiments using a high performance DSP chip.     

Single-stage three-phase buck-boost type AC-DC converter with highpower factor

A new control process for single-stage three-phase buck-boost type AC-DC power converters with high power factor, sinusoidal input currents and adjustable output voltage is proposed. This converter allows variable power factor operation, but this work focus on achieving unity power factor. The proposed control method includes a fast and robust input current controller based on a vectorial sliding mode approach. The active nonlinear control strategy applied to this power converter, allows high quality input currents. Given the comparatively slow dynamics of the DC output voltage, a proportional integral (PI) controller is adopted to regulate the converter output voltage. The voltage controller modulates the amplitudes of the current references, which are sinusoidal and synchronous with the input source voltages. Experimental results from a laboratory prototype show the high power factor and the low harmonic distortion characteristics of the circuit     

New control scheme of three-phase PWM AC/DC converter without phase angle detection under the unbalanced input voltage conditions

In general, three-phase PWM AC/DC power converters have been implemented in the synchronous frame model to eliminate steady state errors effectively and to obtain fast transient response characteristics. However, controllers designed in such way would have input current harmonics and DC-link voltage ripples under the unbalanced input voltage conditions due to the assumption of the balanced input voltage conditions. This paper describes a new control scheme to minimize harmonic distortions of the input current and DC-link voltage in the converter under the unbalanced input voltage. conditions. The synchronous frame input voltage, which is considered as the input side back-EMF component, is regulated pertinently according to the input voltage conditions. The current command is selected to eliminate the reactive power and the second order harmonic component of active power. In this case, the analysis of the input voltage is implemented in the synchronous frame without detecting the phase angle and magnitude of each phase voltage. The proposed control scheme is simple and effectively minimizing the harmonic distortions in the input and output system under the unbalanced input voltage conditions.     

Improvement of output voltage control performance for low-speed operation of matrix converter

The matrix converter (MxC) is an ac-to-ac conversion device that can generate variable frequency and variable voltage output. The nine bidirectional switches of an MxC allow pulse-width modulation (PWM) control of input currents and output voltages. PWM switches need "switch commutations" from one switch to another. During these switch commutations, however, unwanted voltage error occurs like a dead time effect in a voltage source inverter (VSI). When PWM pulse-widths are narrower than the time for completing a commutation sequence, voltage error rapidly increases. In the low-speed range, PWM pulses become narrower and voltage distortions become larger due to incomplete commutations. Moreover, these errors are critical in the low-speed operation because the system is sensitive to the smallest voltage error. In this paper, a new PWM strategy is proposed for improving voltage control performance in the low-speed range. Based on the input and output voltage information, PWM pulse-widths are controlled to avoid incomplete commutation. The feasibility of the proposed method is proved through simulation and experimental results.     

A fault-tolerant strategy based on SMC for current-controlled converters

The sliding mode control (SMC) is used to control variable structure systems such as power electronics converters. This paper presents a fault-tolerant strategy based on the SMC for current-controlled AC–DC converters. The proposed SMC is based on three sliding surfaces for the three legs of the AC–DC converter. Two sliding surfaces are assigned to control the phase currents since the input three-phase currents are balanced. Hence, the third sliding surface is considered as an extra degree of freedom which is utilised to control the neutral voltage. This action is utilised to enhance the performance of the converter during open-switch faults. The proposed fault-tolerant strategy is based on allocating the sliding surface of the faulty leg to control the neutral voltage. Consequently, the current waveform is improved. The behaviour of the current-controlled converter during different types of open-switch faults is analysed. Double switch faults include three cases: two upper switch fault; upper and lower switch fault at different legs; and two switches of the same leg. The dynamic performance of the proposed system is evaluated during healthy and open-switch fault operations. Simulation results exhibit the various merits of the proposed SMC-based fault-tolerant strategy.     

Current-clamped, modified series resonant DC-link power converterfor a general purpose induction motor drive

A new AC/AC power converter topology, in which all the switches operate in a resonant fashion to reduce switching losses, is proposed. The topology enables conduction-period control of individual current pulses, whereby pulse-width modulation (PWM) could be achieved to a fair degree of accuracy with the associated controller. The scheme implements current peak (resonant) limiting by a simple diode clamp. Improved switch utilization (voltage × current) and reduced part-count could be cited as the merits of the circuit over the previous soft-switched current-sourced AC/AC configurations. It is experimentally verified that the output PWM controller could be used to implement constant V/F operation, and the results are presented. In-depth design criteria for the topology that gives optimized voltage stresses are presented. A charge-based, line current feed-forward, mode-controller is introduced at the input and digitally verified. Feasibility of the simultaneous control over both input power-factor and smooth input-output line currents are studied and the digital verification is presented     

A complete DC and AC analysis of three-phase controlled-current PWMrectifier using circuit D-Q transformation

A recently proposed circuit P-Q transformation is used to analyze a three-phase controlled-current PWM rectifier. The DC operating point and AC transfer functions are completely determined. Most features of the power converter are clearly interpreted. They are: (1) the output voltage can be controlled from zero to maximum; (2) the system is equivalently an ideal current source in the steady state; (3) the system can be described as linear circuits; and (4) the input power factor can be arbitrarily controlled within a certain control range     

A high frequency AC/DC converter with unity power factor andminimum harmonic distortion

A novel forced commutated AC/DC converter and control strategy is proposed that is able to draw nearly sinusoidal currents at unity power factor from three-phase power lines. The power factor is controlled by adjusting the relative position of the fundamental component of an optimized pulse-width-modulation (PWM) type voltage with respect to the supply voltage. Current harmonic distortion is minimized by the use of optimized firing angles for the converter at a frequency where gate turn-off thyristors (GTOs) can be used. This feature makes this approach attractive at power levels of 100 kW to 600 kW. An 8096 microcontroller is used to minimize the interface hardware requirements. The theoretical analysis of the converter, the control energy, and experimental results for a low-power prototype are presented     

Analysis,design and implementation of an interleaved three-level PWM DC/DC ZVS converter

This paper presents a new parallel three-level soft switching pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter. The proposed converter has two circuit cells operated by the interleaved PWM modulation. Thus, the ripple currents at input and output sides are reduced. Each circuit cell has two three-level zero voltage switching circuits sharing the same power switches. Therefore, the current and power rating of the secondary side components are reduced. Current double rectifier topology is selected on the secondary side to decrease output ripple current. The main advantages of the proposed converter are soft switching of power switches, low ripple current on the output side and low-voltage rating of power switches for medium-power applications. Finally, the performance of the proposed converter is verified by experiments with 1 kW prototype circuit.     

A boost DC-AC converter: analysis, design, and experimentation

This paper proposes a new voltage source inverter (VSI) referred to as a boost inverter or boost DC-AC converter. The main attribute of the new inverter topology is the fact that it generates an AC output voltage larger than the DC input one, depending on the instantaneous duty cycle. This property is not found in the classical VSI, which produces an AC output instantaneous voltage always lower than the DC input one. For the purpose of optimizing the boost inverter dynamics, while ensuring correct operation in any working condition, a sliding mode controller is proposed. The main advantage of the sliding mode control over the classical control schemes is its robustness for plant parameter variations, which leads to invariant dynamics and steady-state response in the ideal case. Operation, analysis, control strategy, and experimental results are included in this paper. The new inverter is intended to be used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and AC driver systems design whenever an AC voltage larger than the DC link voltage is needed, with no need of a second power conversion stage     

Characteristics of load resonant converters operated in ahigh-power factor mode

The performance of the parallel resonant power converter and the combination series/parallel resonant power converter (LCC converter) when operated above resonance in a high power factor mode are determined and compared for single phase applications. When the DC voltage applied to the input of these converters is obtained from a single phase rectifier with a small DC link capacitor, a relatively high power factor inherently results, even with no active control of the input line current. This behavior is due to the pulsating nature of the DC link and the inherent capability of the converters to boost voltage during the valleys of the input AC wave. With no active control of the input line current, the power factor depends on the ratio of operating frequency to tank resonant frequency. With active control of the input line current, near-unity power factor and low-input harmonic currents can be obtained     

DC voltage sensorless single-phase PFC converter

We propose a simple DC voltage sensorless single phase PFC converter by detecting an AC line voltage waveform. Both DC voltage and AC current sensors used in the conventional PFC converter are not required to construct the control system. The conventional converter circuit with a boost chopper circuit in the DC side from a rectifier circuit is used as the main PFC converter circuit. In the control system, the circuit parameters such as a series inductance L and equivalent load resistance value R/sub d/ are used to generate the sinusoidal current waveform. The DC voltage is directly controlled by the command input signal k/sub d/(=E/sub d//E/sub a/) for the boost chopper circuit. The DC voltage regulation is small because of the feed forward control for the AC line voltage E/sub a/ and no dependence of the circuit parameters. The sinusoidal current waveform in phase with the AC line voltage can be obtained. The feasibility of the proposed control system is verified by some simulation and experimental results.
