Abstract
Three-phase grids imbalance causes serious alternating input current distortion in three-phase pulsewidth modulation (PWM) rectifiers where the conventional control scheme is employed. In this article, a generalized Clarke transformation is proposed to convert three-phase unbalanced sinusoidal quantities to two orthogonal sinusoidal quantities with equal amplitudes. Then, these two orthogonal sinusoidal quantities could be converted to two direct quantities by the Park transformation. Furthermore, based on the generalized Clarke transformation, an enhanced dual-loop control (EDLC) scheme is proposed to control the three-phase PWM rectifier in the synchronous rotating frame. Finally, a 5-kW Vienna-type rectifier prototype was built to verify the proposed generalized Clarke transformation and the proposed EDLC control scheme. Experimental results show that, by using the proposed EDLC scheme, the low current total harmonic distortion is achieved even both the amplitude and phase of the utility grid voltages are unbalanced.
