Comparative study of control techniques for three phase PWM rectifier

This paper studies and compare the performances of different control strategies of 3-phase active rectifier under different load and frequency conditions. There are three main control approaches to be investigated such as: Voltage Oriented Control (VOC), Direct Power Control (DPC) and Model Predictive Control (MPC). The traditional method VOC has been used widely in practice. Its control principle is available to many different grid-connected converter systems such as electric drive system, renewable energy conversion system. However, the problem of optimal design of the current regulators for the different operating conditions of the system is not an easy problem. The DPC and MPC methods then help to eliminate the disadvantages of the VOC. The MPC method has been now become much interesting since it offers a general solution to a multi-goal optimization problem. In the paper, the system structures and controller parameters are briefly presented. The main evaluation factors of the active rectifier are low input current distortion (THD), a unit input power factor and stable DC output voltage. Three methods are analyzed and verified using MATLAB software and measuring experiment on a real model. The obtained results show that the VOC method achieves stable quality under different load as well as the switching frequency conditions, while the MPC method may achieve good quality with a rather high switching frequency.

Research of Three Phase PWM Rectifier based on Direct Vector Control Method

In oilfield worldwide, beam pumping units are wildly used to produce oil. the working mechanism of beam pumping unit determines that its driving motor frequently enters into the state of power generation, so PWM reversible rectifier is an ideal choice for recycle the generated energy, therefore it is necessary to research the control theory of PWM reversible rectifier. The paper presents a digital algorithm for the PWM rectifier, on the basis of coordinate analyzing theory and SVPWM method. The method that directly calculates the basic vector operation time and position is adopted, so the arc-tangent calculation is avoided, calculation process is simplified. Based on the vector coordinate transformation of three-phase reversible PWM rectifier, the control equation of direct current control method is derived in this paper. The rectifier control algorithm is realized with high performance DSP TMS320F28335. The experimental results prove that the method proposed in the paper is practical and correct.

Improved virtual flux direct power control of three phase PWM rectifier using SOGI-FLL estimator under disturbed voltage conditions

In this paper, improved sonsorless direct power control (DPC) of three-phase rectifiers is presented. The new system are based on virtual flux (VF) and notch filter using Second Order Generalized Integrator frequency located loop SOGI-FLL estimator. In order to improve the VF-DPC performance of PWM rectifier, an improved observation method of virtual flux-linkage is proposed. To avoid the relevant problems of pure integrator, and to achieve the accurate observation of the grid voltage’s phase, (SOGI-FLL) are used to displace the pure integrator. Theoretical principles of this method are presented and discussed. These strategies are also investigated under disturbed grid voltage. A theoretical analysis of active and reactive power under a non-ideal source is clearly demonstrated. In order to calculate the compensated powers, the extraction of positive, negative, and harmonic sequences of voltage and current is needed and a multiple dual SOGI-FLL method is used for rapid and accurate extraction. It is shown that the VFDPC with integrating notch filter exhibits several advantages, particularly providing small ripple of DC-link voltage and sinusoidal line current when the supply voltage is not ideal.

Modeling and Simulation of Controller for Single Phase and Three Phase PWM Rectifiers

This paper presents the modeling of single phase, three phase rectifiers and suitable controller design for the modeled rectifier circuit the primary application of rectifiers is to derive DC power from an AC supply. Virtually all electronic devices require DC, so rectifiers are used inside the power supplies of all electronic equipment. PWM rectifier is now becoming popular due to its low distortion input current, unity power factor operation, bi-directional power flow ability and can offer excellent dynamic response of the dc output voltage. A three-phase PWM rectifier used together with closed-loop dc–dc converters for converting DC power from one voltage to another is much more complicated. In order to perform the above operation rectifier switches should be controlled properly. Hence it is much needed to design a suitable controller for single phase and three phase rectifier. From the small signal transfer function model, the controller scan be designed and the simulated results are presented.

Control of three phase PWM rectifier using virtual flux‐based predictive direct power control and SVM under harmonic conditions

SummaryIn this paper, a new predictive direct power control algorithm to control the PWM rectifier based on virtual flux (VF) is presented. In this algorithm, supply network and the line inductances are assumed as an induction machine and so virtual flux space vectors are assumed corresponding with the space vector of the network voltages. Instantaneous active and reactive powers and finally convertor average voltage in both stationary and rotating reference frames are calculated by the virtual flux space vector components. The main advantages of the proposed method are low total harmonic distortion of the input current and low ripple in the instantaneous active and reactive powers and direct current‐bus voltage under harmonic distorted condition of the supply voltage in comparison with voltage‐based predictive direct power control (V‐PDPC) method. Proposed VF‐PDPC method with space vector modulation switching strategy was tested in simulations and compared with the V‐PDPC method. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Three-phase controlled rectifiers have a wide range of applications such as motor control in industries, dc drives, cycloconverters etc. They are used for electro-chemical process, many kinds of motor drives, traction equipment, controlled power supplies, and many other applications. The main aim of this paper is to design the three phase PWM rectifier and analyze its performance. The rectifier is designed to convert input ac power into intermediate dc power. This power conversion is done at unity power factor viewed from the supply mains. The advantage of this system is it also improves the power quality. This improved power factor improves/modifies the wave shape of line current close to sinusoidal and reduces the line amplitude of line current to reduces the line loss and hence to improve the power quality.

3상 PWM 정류기의 경부하시 입력전류 THD 저감을 위한 d축 전류리플 저감 PWM 방법

In this paper, a new PWM method is proposed to reduce the input current harmonics of 3 phase PWM rectifier. In the conventional carrier comparison PWM method, a triangular wave is generally used as the carrier wave. However, the large d-axis current ripple by the triangle carrier wave may be a source of large input current THD(Total Harmonic Distortion). In this paper, a new carrier comparison PWM method with saw tooth wave is proposed. Depending on the sector where the voltage command vector places, one of the rising or falling saw tooth wave is selected. To reduce the switching losses of the saw tooth carrier PWM, the discontinuous PWM is also presented. The proposed PWM method can reduce the d-axis current ripple as well as the switching losses. The performance of the conventional and proposed PWM methods is verified by the simulation and experimental results.

3상 PWM 정류기의 스위치 개방 고장 감지 및 허용운전 방법

In this paper, the new open fault detection and tolerant operation method for 3 phase PWM rectifier is proposed. When open fault occurred on the inverter switches of 3 Phase PWM rectifier, the DC link voltage ripple is increased because the input current of the faulty phase is distorted. In this case, the quality of electric power would decrease, and the life time of DC link capacitor is decreased. The open fault is detected by a simple MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) without additional hardware sensors, and the tolerant operation carried out by turning on the opposite switch of the faulty switch without any redundancy. By the proposed method, the faulty phase input current can be controlled, so that 3-phase input current is balanced relatively under the faulty condition and the voltage ripple of DC link output is reduced. The validity of the proposed technique is proved on the 6kW 3-phase PWM rectifier system by simulation and experiment.

Improvement in Dynamic Performance of Indirect Current Control Strategy on Three Phase PWM Rectifier

Three phase voltage source PWM rectifier (VSR)’s indirect current control (ICC) strategy has good static performance, simple control steps and low cost. But bad dynamic performance is its inherent drawback. If this weakness is overcome, it is still valued. In this article normal ICC is deeply studied beginning with its mathematical model under synchronous rotating coordinate. It is indicated that its bad dynamic performance originates from bad current response. So an improving scheme adding compensation in series is brought out. Additionally a differential negative feedback loop of DC output voltage is added to limit the voltage overshoot. Lastly the control system’s computer simulation model is established by MATLAB and the simulating results prove that improved ICC makes great process in dynamic performance and has advantages of both indirect and direct current control (DCC).

대용량 전원장치의 정류기는 입력전류의 고조파를 줄이기 위해, 입력 전류 제어기능을 갖는 3상 PWM 정류기의 적용이 확대되고 있다. 3상 PWM 정류기의 전압제어기는 일반적으로 PI 제어기가 사용되며, 출력 전압의 안정성을 얻고 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여 전압 제어기는 출력전압의 과도상태에서 오버슈트(Overshoot)를 작게 설계한다. 그러나 부하 변동이 급격한 대용량 통신용 전원 장치에 3상 PWM 정류기가 적용될 경우 빠른 부하 변동에 대한 안정적 전압 응답을 얻기 위하여 보다 넓은 대역폭을 갖도록 전압 제어기를 설계할 필요가 있다. 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 PI 제어기는 과도한 출력전압의 오버슈트가 발생될 수 있으며, 이 과도한 출력전압 오버슈트는 통신용 전원의 안정성을 해칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 과도 상태에서 출력전압의 오버슈트를 작게 하기 위하여 IP 제어기를 갖는 3상 PWM 정류기의 전압 제어기를 제안한다. 제안된 전압 제어기는 3상 PWM 정류기의 기동 시와 부하 변동시의 과도 응답특성을 개선될 수 있음을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 3Phase PWM rectifier has become increasingly popular due to its capability of nearly sinusoidal waveform of the input current, and nearly unity power factor operation as a AC/DC rectifier of high capacity telecommunication power supply system. Generally, PI controller is used as a voltage controller of PWM rectifier and voltage controller must be designed to have low overshoot in transient state to get a reliability and stable operation. However, in the application of telecommunication in which load condition is varied very fast, the voltage controller must have a large bandwidth to reduce output voltage variation. The PI controller with large bandwidth arouse the excessive overshoot of the output voltage, and this large output voltage variation degrades the reliability of communication power of the three-phase PWM Rectifier. In this paper, new IP voltage controller for 3 phase PWM rectifier is proposed which has relatively low transient output voltage variation. The improved output characteristics of the transient state voltage responses of the starting and at load changes of the proposed voltage controller are proved by simulations and experiments.
