Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate an improved control method and digital signal processor-based (DSP-based) digital implementation of three-phase standalone inverter. The proposed method is performance developed of the proportional-resonant controller (PRC) with harmonic injection technique, aiming to improve load voltages quality under different loads, especially nonlinear loads. The advanced proposed multi-loop controller is consisted of current harmonic loops for suppressing odd harmonic, which are analyzed in discrete-time domain. Besides, the voltage loop is also used to compensate the output capacitor voltage.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed method can effectively enlarge output voltage stability with low total harmonics distortion and improve the dynamic transient response. The other advantage of the proposed PRC is the injection of the selective harmonic without any additional calculation compensator.

Findings

The method is given the opportunity to be controlled exactly all harmful outputs with high-quality voltage referenced of the standalone inverter. The proposed method is implemented using a DSP processor (TMS320F28335) and is verified on the 10 kVA three-phase standalone inverter prototype.

Originality/value

The proposed method is performance developed of the PRC with harmonic injection technique, aiming to improve load voltages quality under different loads, especially nonlinear loads.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate the common-mode voltage (CMV) issue of a three-phase four-leg voltage-source inverter. A new space vector modulation method, named as three-dimensional active zero state Pulse-width modulation (PWM) (3-D AZSPWM), is proposed to reduce the CMV level.

Design/methodology/approach

PWM is a general method to generate the switching signals of the power converters in order to obtain high-quality output voltages. However, the CMV produced by PWM methods has become a serious problem. 3-D AZSPWM is proposed to solve this issue. In 3-D AZSPWM, instead of using zero voltage vectors with high CMV level, appropriate complementary non-zero vectors are introduced to synthesize reference vector. The proposed method is classified into four types of AZSPWM1(a), AZSPWM1(b), AZSPWM2(a) and AZSPWM2(b) based on different complementary vectors chosen for each type. An extend software simulation using MATLAB/Simulink is performed to verify the superior performance of the proposed methods.

Findings

Compared to other reduced CMV methods, the proposed method not only reduces the CMV but also retains the positive characteristics of the three-dimensional classical space vector PWM (3-D CSVPWM).

Originality/value

The proposed method does not suffer from linear modulation region limitation and also does not impose additional switching loss. Furthermore, calculated output voltage harmonic distortion factor illuminates acceptable quality of output voltage produced by the proposed method.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to propose a novel integrated control method (ICM) for high-power-density non-inverting interleaved buck-boost DC-DC converter. To achieve high power conversion by conventional single phase DC-DC converter, inductor value must be increased. This converter is not suitable for industrial and high-power applications as large inductor value will increase the inductor current ripple. Thus, two-phase non-inverting interleaved buck-boost DC-DC converter is proposed.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed ICM approach is based on the theory of integrated dynamic modeling of continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous conduction mode and synchronizing parallel operation mode. In addition, it involves the output voltage controller with inner current loop (inductor current controller) to make a fair balancing between two stages. To ensure fast transient performance, proposed digital ICM is implemented based on a TMS320F28335 digital signal microprocessor.

Findings

The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed ICM algorithm to achieve high voltage regulating (under 0.01 per cent), very low inductor current ripple (for boost is 1.96 per cent, for buck is 1.1) and fair input current balance between two stages (unbalancing current less than 0.5A).

Originality/value

The proposed new ICM design procedure is developed satisfactorily to ensure fast transient response even under high load variation and the solving R right-half-plane HP zeros of the CCM. In addition, the proposed method can equally divide the input current of stages and stable different parallel operation modes with large input voltage variations.
