A Digital Control Strategy With Simple Transfer Matrix for Three-Phase Buck Rectifier Under Unbalanced AC Input Conditions.

In this letter, a digital control strategy with a simple transfer matrix between three-phase ac input voltages and dc-link voltage is proposed for a three-phase buck rectifier (3ph-BR) under unbalanced ac input conditions. The proposed digital control strategy can eliminate both the odd harmonics of the ac input currents and the even harmonics of the output voltage ripple under unbalanced ac input conditions. Compared with the state-of-the-art control strategies, the proposed control strategy does not require the extraction of the positive sequence voltage and the negative sequence voltage, thus a three-phase lock loop and complex calculation are not required. The proposed control strategy is essentially an input voltage feedforward control, which is independent of the loop bandwidth of the feedback system. Therefore, the processing speed of the digital processor is no longer the critical factor for the 3ph-BR under the unbalanced ac input conditions. The proposed control strategy makes it possible to utilize low-cost and small-sized digital processors. An experimental prototype of a 1.5-kW 3ph-BR with the proposed control strategy is built to verify the analysis results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
