Simulation of power converter with repetitive control system for higher harmonics elimination

TL;DR: The improved control system structure and its implementation in MATLAB Simulink environment is described and the advantages of the repetitive algorithm facing Fourier transform harmonic compensation are shown.
Abstract: This article deals with the simulation of the power converter with voltage-source inverter and sine-filter. The repetitive control system was designed. The existing power converter has a control system which makes Fourier transform of the output voltage to inject these harmonics with opposite phase. The new proposed system based on repetitive controller which is much simpler and with smaller CPU load. The higher harmonics elimination works perfect and the power converter produces output voltage with less than 5% THD under linear or non-linear load. This paper describes the improved control system structure and its implementation in MATLAB Simulink environment. The advantages of the repetitive algorithm facing Fourier transform harmonic compensation are shown. The performance of the new control method is shown in simulation results. The algorithm is carried out in C language using MATLAB S-Function block so it is suitable for implementation in the real-time control systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a digital comb filter application is proposed to provide multiple harmonics compensation and simple implementation for grid-connected power electronic converter by means of digital comb filters. But the proposed method is casual therefore its implementation on the digital microprocessors is greatly facilitated.
Abstract: This paper presents the method of current higher harmonics control for grid connected power electronic converter by means of a digital comb filter application. The proposed method provides multiple harmonics compensation and simple implementation. The Proportional-Resonant (PR) control was complemented with appropriately tuned comb filter which resulted in reduced mitigation of output current harmonics and reduced THD. Two types of comb filters have been verified as a harmonic compensator namely feedback and feedforward structures. The compensator based on the feedback comb filter included additional casual FIR low-pass filter for increased robustness. Proposed FIR filter is casual therefore its implementation on the digital microprocessors is greatly facilitated. The experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of proposed solution for grid connected converter operating in a network with distorted supply voltage.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed an algorithmic way to reduce the harmonic composition of traction current, based on the repetitive control method, which was tested on the traction electric drive of a subway train and showed a 10-fold decrease in the harmonic amplitude of 300 Hz.
Abstract: Moscow Metro has signal systems that ensure the safety of train traffic, such as automatic speed control system and centralization and interlocking systems. The traction electric drive of a metro train should not interfere with the operation of rail devices during standstill or movement. The main harmonics of the traction current are harmonics multiple of 300 Hz, appearing during rectification of the alternating voltage, and harmonics multiple of 50 Hz, in case of partial faults in traction substation. To reduce the influence of the harmonic composition of the traction electric drive, the frequencies encoding the information signals are chosen in intermediate ranges. However, during the movement of the train, the frequency of the motor and, consequently, of the currents change. Being superimposed on the main harmonic of 300 Hz, the amplitude of these frequencies can be amplified and create interference in the signals of automatic speed control and collision prevention control systems. This paper proposes an algorithmic way to reduce the harmonic composition of traction current, based on the repetitive control method. The algorithm was tested on the traction electric drive of a subway train couch and showed a 10-fold decrease in the harmonic amplitude of 300 Hz.

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the application and optimal design of the repetitive controller for eliminating harmonic distortion in pulse-width modulation voltage source inverter systems. A method of analyzing the repetitive control system from the frequency response viewpoint is introduced. Based on this method, a systematic way of optimizing the design of the system is proposed. Specifically, the closed-loop repetitive controller is modified by including a zero-magnitude-and-phase compensator and a lead-lag compensator to improve the stability and tracking accuracy of the inverter system. It is shown both analytically and by simulations that the harmonics in the inverter's output voltage can be effectively eliminated with the improved repetitive controller.
