TLDR
A model-based DPC for three-phase power converters is designed, obtaining expressions for the input control signal, which allow the design of an adaptive control law that minimizes the errors introduced by parameter uncertainties as the smoothing inductor value or the grid frequency.
Abstract
The direct power control (DPC) technique has been widely used as a control strategy for three-phase power rectifiers due to its simplicity and good performance. DPC uses the instantaneous active and reactive power to control the power converter. The controller design has been proposed as a direct control with a lookup table and, in recent works, as an indirect control with an inner control loop with proportional-plus-integral controllers for the instantaneous active and reactive power errors. In this paper, a model-based DPC for three-phase power converters is designed, obtaining expressions for the input control signal, which allow the design of an adaptive control law that minimizes the errors introduced by parameter uncertainties as the smoothing inductor value or the grid frequency. A controller design process, a stability study of the system, and experimental results for a synchronous three-phase power rectifier prototype are presented to validate the proposed controller.

A new mathematical model and control of a three-phase AC-DC voltage source converter

Abstract: A new mathematical model of the power circuit of a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) was developed in the stationary and synchronous reference frames. The mathematical model was then used to analyze and synthesize the voltage and current control loops for the VSC. Analytical expressions were derived for calculating the gains and time constants of the current and voltage regulators. The mathematical model was used to control a 140-kW regenerative VSC. The synchronous reference-frame model was used to define feedforward signals in the current regulators to eliminate the cross coupling between the d and q phases. It allowed the reduction of the current control loops to first-order plants and improved their tracking capability. The bandwidths of the current and voltage-control loops were found to be approximately 20 and 60 times (respectively) smaller than the sampling frequency. All control algorithms were implemented in a digital signal processor. All results of the analysis were experimentally verified.
