Abstract

In this paper, a novel nonlinear control scheme is proposed to regulate the DC output voltage and the AC input current of a three-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter. First, depending on the power balance between the input and output sides of the system, the nonlinear model of the PWM converter is derived with the state variables such as AC input currents and DC output voltage. Then, by applying the feedback linearization, the system is linearized and the control law is achieved by pole placement. With this control strategy, the response of the output voltage is faster than conventional cascade control method. In addition, the input current is regulated to be sinusoidal and the source power factor can be controlled at unity. The validity of the control method has been verified by simulation results.
Keywords: AC/DC PWM converter, DC voltage control, feedback linearization
