One-cycle control of switching converters

Abstract: A new large-signal nonlinear control technique is proposed to control the duty-ratio d of a switch such that in each cycle the average value of a switched variable of the switching converter is exactly equal to or proportional to the control reference in the steady-state or in a transient. One-cycle control rejects power source perturbations in one switching cycle; the average value of the switched variable follows the dynamic reference in one switching cycle; and the controller corrects switching errors in one switching cycle. There is no steady-state error nor dynamic error between the control reference and the average value of the switched variable. Experiments with a constant frequency buck converter have demonstrated the robustness of the control method and verified the theoretical predictions. This new control method is very general and applicable to all types of pulse-width-modulated, resonant-based, or soft-switched switching converters for either voltage or current control in continuous or discontinuous conduction mode. Furthermore, it can be used to control any physical variable or abstract signal that is in the form of a switched variable or can be converted to the form of a switched variable. >

Disturbance observer and feedforward design for a high-speed direct-drive positioning table

Abstract: Design and implementation of a discrete-time tracking controller for a precision positioning table actuated by direct-drive motors is considered. The table has acceleration capabilities in excess of 5 G, positioning accuracy at the micron level, and is used in applications such as semiconductor packaging. The controller proposed uses a disturbance observer and proportional derivative (PD) compensation in the feedback path and a zero phase error tracking controller and zero phase low-pass filter in the feedforward path. The existing disturbance observer design techniques are extended to account for time delay in the plant. Practical difficulties with excessive feedforward gains are examined and a low-order filter design method is proposed. Experimental results for quantized low-order position reference trajectories, which are commonly used in industrial systems, demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Optimized Design of Stationary Frame Three Phase AC Current Regulators

Abstract: Current regulation plays an important role in modern power electronic AC conversion systems The most direct strategy to regulate such currents is to use a simple closed loop proportional-integral (PI) regulator, which has no theoretical stability limits as the proportional and integral gains are increased, since it is only a second order system However, pulsewidth modulation (PWM) transport and controller sampling delays limit the gain values that can be achieved in practical systems Taking these limitations into account, this paper presents an analytical method to determine the best possible gains that can be achieved for any class of practical linear AC current controller The analysis shows that the maximum possible proportional gain is determined by the plant series inductance, the DC bus voltage and the transport and sampling delays, while the maximum possible integral gain is determined primarily by the transport and sampling delays The work is applicable to stationary frame PI regulators, stationary frame controllers with back electromotive force compensation, stationary frame P+ resonant (PR) controllers, and synchronous d- q frame controllers, since they all have identical proportional and integral gains that must be optimized for any particular application

Passive Bilateral Teleoperation With Constant Time Delay

Abstract: We propose a novel control framework for bilateral teleoperation of a pair of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear robotic systems under constant communication delays. The proposed framework uses the simple proportional-derivative control, i.e., the master and slave robots are directly connected via spring and damper over the delayed communication channels. Using the controller passivity concept, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii technique, and Parseval's identity, we can passify the combination of the delayed communication and control blocks altogether robustly, as long as the delays are finite constants and an upper bound for the round-trip delay is known. Having explicit position feedback through the delayed P-action, the proposed framework enforces master-slave position coordination, which is often compromised in the conventional scattering-based teleoperation. The proposed control framework provides humans with extended physiological proprioception, so that s/he can affect and sense the remote slave environments mainly relying on her/his musculoskeletal systems. Simulation and experiments are performed to validate and highlight properties of the proposed control framework
