Abstract
The problem of controlling wound rotor synchronous motor is considered together with the associated power supply chain including the AC/DC rectifier, DC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter. The main control objectives are threefold: (i) forcing the motor speed to track any bounded reference signal, (ii) regulating the DC Link voltage, (iii) ensuring power factor correction (PFC) with respect to the power supply net. First, a nonlinear model of the whole controlled system is developed in the Park-coordinates. Then, a nonlinear multi-loop controller is synthesized using the backstepping design technique. A formal analysis based on Lyapunov stability and average theory is developed to describe the control system performances. In addition to closed-loop global asymptotic stability, it is proved that all control objectives (motor speed tracking, DC link voltage regulation, and unitary power factor) are asymptotically achieved up to small harmonic errors (ripples). The above results are confirmed by simulations which, besides, show that the proposed regulator is quite robust with respect to uncertain changes of load torque.
