Performance recovery output voltage control algorithm for AC/DC converter

This article proposes a proportional-type cascade output voltage control algorithm equipped with disturbance observers for a three-phase AC/DC converter considering a model-plant mismatch. The advantages of the proposed method are grouped into two. First, a simple first-order disturbance observer is devised for both inner and outer-loops, not only to recover the target closed-loop performance, but also to eliminate steady-state offset errors. Second, it is thoroughly verified that the entire closed-loop system driven by the proposed proportional-type cascade controller is stable. The efficacy of the proposed method is experimentally investigated using a 3 ? kW AC/DC converter.     

Use of model predictive controller in dual-loop control of three-phase PWM AC/DC converter

In the classical dual-loop voltage control scheme for an AC/DC converter, this paper proposes a simple stabilizing inner-loop model predictive controller (MPC) to regulate the output current and q-frame current to their references. The proposed MPC minimizes a cost function of the tracking error without any use of numerical methods using the specific property of the input matrix of the converter. It is shown that this MPC globally stabilizes the converter in the presence of input constraints. As the same manner of the classical dual-loop control scheme, PI controllers are adopted in the outerloop to regulate the output voltage while maintaining the maximum power factor. The simulation results show that the proposed inner-loop MPC considerably enhances the closed-loop performance despite the load changes.

Decentralized adaptive neural network control of cascaded DC–DC converters with high voltage conversion ratio

Decentralized output voltage tracking of cascaded DC–DC converters is an interesting topic to obtain a high voltage conversion ratio. The control purpose is challenging due to the load resistance changes, renewable energy supply voltage variations and interaction of the individual converters. In this paper, four novel decentralized adaptive neural network controllers are designed on the cascaded DC–DC buck and boost converters under load and DC supply voltage uncertainties. In the beginning, individual buck and boost converter average models that can operate in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes are derived. Then, the interconnected and decentralized state-space models of cascaded buck and boost converters are extracted. These models are highly nonlinear with unknown uncertainties which can be estimated by neural networks. Further, two decentralized adaptive backstepping neural network voltage controllers are proposed on cascaded buck converters to deal with uncertainties and interactions. However, these control strategies are not applicable to a boost converter due to its non-minimum phase nature. Then, two novel decentralized adaptive neural network with a conventional proportional–integral reference current generator are developed on the cascaded boost converters. Practical stability of the overall system is guaranteed for the proposed controllers using Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, four control strategies provide good quality of output voltage in the presence of uncertainties and interactions. Comparative simulations are carried out on cascaded buck and boost converters to validate the effectiveness and performance of the designed methods.     

Intrinsic Power Management Strategy based improvement of power stability in a single-phase AC–DC converter system

Nowadays the size of the use of electronic devices like laptops, cell phone chargers, electric vehicles and UPS is rapidly increasing. So AC–DC converters need to incorporate the power factor correction along with voltage regulation. There are many AC–DC converter control methods available, but these methods do not perform well. Therefore In this paper, a smooth transformation on switching will be characterized by a high power factor in a single phase AC–DC converter by the use of intrinsic power management strategy. The proposed AC–DC converter's circuit topology is obtained by integrating a boost and buck converter. The Boost Converter's switching frequency does power factor correction to get less current harmonics at the input line. In this single phase AC–DC converter, the buck-boost converter is an important component that increases system power quality based on advanced PWM technique. So in this work, the Intrinsic Power Management Strategy (IPMS) is proposed to enhance the control over the DC–DC converter performance during unstable or transient operation. Rather than making a quick Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, the computerized signal processor just creates a moderate changing DC signal to decide the PWM ramp function. The power factor correction model has been created and simulated by utilizing MATLAB programming. The simulation model demonstrates that the power factor is improved and the converter has regulated DC output voltage. To validate this simulation, a 1000 W prototype converter has been developed to feed a DC motor and the analysis of the results are presented.     

Closed-loop analysis and control of a non-inverting buck–boost converter

In this article, a cascade controller is designed and analysed for a non-inverting buck–boost converter. The fast inner current loop uses sliding mode control. The slow outer voltage loop uses the proportional–integral (PI) control. Stability analysis and selection of PI gains are based on the nonlinear closed-loop error dynamics incorporating both the inner and outer loop controllers. The closed-loop system is proven to have a nonminimum phase structure. The voltage transient due to step changes of input voltage or resistance is predictable. The operating range of the reference voltage is discussed. The controller is validated by a simulation circuit. The simulation results show that the reference output voltage is well-tracked under system uncertainties or disturbances, confirming the validity of the proposed controller.

DC‐to‐AC power conversion on a ‘boost’ converter

In this article, we provide an approximate sliding mode control‐based solution to the DC–AC power conversion problem on a ‘boost’ converter. The approach uses the flatness property of the system as a pivot for generating a sequence of minimum phase output reference trajectory candidates. The generated candidates are obtained as differential parameterizations of the minimum phase inductor current variable in terms of the non‐minimum phase desired output capacitor voltage. The associated residual dynamics of the ideal sliding motions is shown to reasonably approximate the desired biased sinusoidal output capacitor voltage signal.

PI controller design using ABC algorithm for MPPT of PV system supplying DC motor pump load

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize its output power. A new MPPT system has been suggested for PV–DC motor pump system by designing two PI controllers. The first one is used to reach MPPT by monitoring the voltage and current of the PV array and adjusting the duty cycle of the DC/DC converter. The second PI controller is designed for speed control of DC series motor by setting the voltage fed to the DC series motor through another DC/DC converter. The suggested design problem of MPPT and speed controller is formulated as an optimization task which is solved by artificial bee colony (ABC) to search for optimal parameters of PI controllers. Simulation results have shown the validity of the developed technique in delivering MPPT to DC series motor pump system under atmospheric conditions and tracking the reference speed of motor. Moreover, the performance of the ABC algorithm is compared with genetic algorithm for various disturbances to prove its robustness.

A battery charge controller realized by a flyback converter with digital primary side regulation for mobile phones

A flyback converter with digital control designed and implemented for a lithium battery charging system is proposed in this study. As opposed to the requirement of both voltage and current feedbacks for a conventional flyback converter, this study proposes a converter structure that needs only one voltage feedback to stabilize converter output for implementing the designed battery charging techniques. This single feedback of voltage is made possible by so-called “primary side regulation (PSR)”, which in hardware senses the output voltage using an auxiliary winding in the isolating transformer of the flyback converter that is operated in DC–DC discontinuous current mode. The adoption of PSR also enables the elimination of the opto-coupler that is often used in conventional converters for feedback signals. Another essential part of the converter is the proposition of a new a duty control method which regulate successfully the output current by only one feedback voltage signal. The proposed battery charging design consists of three consecutive modes, trickle current (TC), CC and CV. At TC and CC, a duty control method is adopted, which is able to regulate the output current by sensing only the output voltage. Both simulation and experimental results show a 7 % error deviated from targeted output current. As for CV, a proportional-integral controller is designed and implemented to regulate the output voltage. The overall experimental results show a favorable performance of the proposed charging method with proposed PSR-flyback converter.
