Abstract

This paper proposes the simplified pulse widthmodulation (PWM ) strategy in the bidirectionalac/dc single-phase converter with the feed-forwardcontrol scheme. In this, the number of switching ofthe proposed simplified PWM strategy is reduced toone-fourth to that of the unipolar & bipolar PWM.The feed-forward control scheme is used to achievebetter performance of the ac/dc converter in both therectifier & inverter mode as compared with theconventional dual-loop control scheme. Thesimplified PWM strategy with feed-forward controlscheme has higher efficiency than that of the unipolarPWM & bipolar PWM strategies. Also, the totalharmonic distortion is less in this PWM strategy. Thesimulation & experiments are carried out to verify thevalidity of the proposed PWM strategy & controlscheme. The proposed simplified PWM strategy withthe proposed feedforward control scheme has lowertotal harmonic distortion than the bipolar PWM andhigher efficiency than both unipolar and bipolarPWMs. Furthermore, the proposed simplified PWMoperated in the inverter mode also has largeravailable fundamental output voltage VAB than boththe unipolar and bipolar PWMs. A prototype systemis constructed and the control scheme is implementedusing FPGA Spartan-3E XC3S250E. Both simulationand experimental results verify.
