Model based current mode control design and experimental validation for a 3φ rectifier under unbalanced grid voltage conditions

This paper addresses the control design and the experimental validation of a current mode control for a three phase voltage source rectifier. The proposed control law is able to fulfill the voltage regulation and the current tracking control objectives despite of unbalanced and distorted grid voltages. The proposed control law consists of two loops, which are referred as inner tracking loop and the outer voltage regulation loop. The inner loop is designed to provide damping to the system, which also includes and adaptive mechanism. The construction of the current reference is based on the positive component detection of thegrid voltage. Therefore, the current produced by the power rectifier is proportional to the fundamental component of the grid voltage, despite of the presence of unbalanced grid voltages. The voltage regulation loop is designed as a proportional-integral controller, which is aimed to regulate the DC output voltage to a desired level. Finally, experimental results are obtained in an experimental prototype of2 kW to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller.

A small-signal model of current programmed mode pulse width modulation converter including the equivalent sampling effect is introduced and analyzed. In this model, an addition pole is brought out by the sampling effect in the current loop gain, and it affects dynamic bandwidth and stability of the inner current loop. By selecting the appropriate stability parameter which determines the additional pole and describes the degree of peaking in closed loop transfer function, a control model of current programmed full bridge arc welding inverter with maximum frequency bandwidth and stability can be obtained.

Robust Nonlinear Current Sensorless Control of the Boost Converter with Constant Power Load

The boost converter feeding a constant power load (CPL) is a non-minimum phase system that is prone to the destabilizing effects of the negative incremental resistance of the CPL and presents a major challenge in the design of stabilizing controllers. A PWM-based current-sensorless robust sliding mode controller is developed that requires only the measurement of the output voltage. An extended state observer is developed to estimate a lumped uncertainty signal that comprises the uncertain load power and the input voltage, the converter parasitics, the component uncertainties and the estimation of the derivative of the output voltage needed in the implementation of the controller. A linear sliding surface is used to derive the controller, which is simple in its design and yet exhibits excellent features in terms of robustness to external disturbances, parameter uncertainties, and parasitics despite the absence of the inductor’s current feedback. The robustness of the controller is validated by computer simulations.

Loop-Shaping Based Control for Switch Mode DC-DC Power Converters

Renewable energy sources require switching regulators as an interface to a load with high efficiency, small size, proper output regulation, and fast transient response. Moreover, due to the nonlinear behavior and switching nature of DC-DC power electronic converters, there is a need for high-performance control strategies. This work summarized the dynamic behavior for the three basic switch-mode DC-DC power converters operating in continuous conduction mode, i.e. buck, boost, and buck-boost. A controller was designed using loop-shaping based on current-mode control that consists of two feedback loops. A high-gain compensator with wide bandwidth was used in the inner current loop for fast transient response. A proportional-integral controller was used in the outer voltage loop for regulation purposes. A procedure was proposed for the parameters of the controller that ensures closed-loop stability and output voltage regulation. The design-oriented analysis was applied to the three basic switch-mode DC-DC power converters. Experimental results were obtained for a switching regulator with a boost converter of 150 W, which exhibits non-minimum phase behavior. The performance of the controller was tested for voltage regulation by applying large load changes.
