Interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control of port-controlled Hamiltonian systems

TL;DR: A new PBC theory is developed which extends to a broader class of systems the aforementioned energy-balancing stabilization mechanism and the structure invariance and considers instead port-controlled Hamiltonian models, which result from the network modelling of energy-conserving lumped-parameter physical systems with independent storage elements, and strictly contain the class of EL models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repetitive-Based Controller for a UPS Inverter to Compensate Unbalance and Harmonic Distortion

TL;DR: It is shown that a bank of resonant filters, used as a refinement term for harmonic compensation in earlier works, is equivalent to a repetitive scheme with a particular structure, which takes a negative feedback structure plus a feedforward path whenever the odd harmonics are considered for compensation only.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Hamiltonian viewpoint in the modeling of switching power converters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the Hamiltonian formalism to derive mathematical models that describe the behavior of a large class of switching power converters, including the ''Boost'' and ''Buck'' converters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis and design of direct power control (DPC) for a three phase synchronous rectifier via output regulation subspaces

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a controller that directly regulates the active and instantaneous reactive power in a synchronous three-phase boost-type rectifier, which ensures a good regulation of the output voltage, and guarantees the power factor close to one.
Journal ArticleDOI

An experimental comparison of several nonlinear controllers for power converters

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an experimental comparison of nonlinear control algorithms on a DC-DC power converter of the boost type were compared with the following basic criteria: transient and steady state response to steps and sinusoidal references, attenuation of disturbances in the power supply, and sensitivity to unknown loads.
