Abstract

This paper has presents the integrated approach for three-phase PWM AC-DC converter for obtaining the symmetrical components under unbalanced supply condition. The input structures for conventional direct power control have been modified with three simpler sequence networks instead it coupled by a detailed three-phase system method. In the cases of an unbalanced three-phase system, it causes the presence of unbalanced current and voltages thus produce the negative components on the grid voltage. Otherwise, the unbalance voltage in a three-phase power system causes severe performance degradation of a grid-connected VSI. Therefore, the imbalance voltage can be resolved by separating from the individual elements of voltage and current into symmetrical components called as a sequencing network. Consequently, the input power is relatively improved during unbalanced condition. It proven through the measurement of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) from the conventional direct power control in individual elements is much higher compared than it resolved in separate components. Therefore, three symmetrical components are necessary for imbalance supply condition to obtaining almost sinusoidal grid currents.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive and systematic approach in developing a new switching look-up table for direct power control (DPC) strategy applied to the three-phase grid connected three-level neutral-point clamped (3L-NPC) pulse width modulated (PWM) rectifier. The term of PWM rectifier used in this paper is also known as AC-DC converter. The approach provides detailed information regarding the effects of each multilevel converter space vector to the distribution of input active and reactive power in the converter system. Thus, the most optimal converter space vectors are able to be selected by the switching look-up table, allowing smooth control of the active and reactive powers for each sector. In addition, the proposed DPC utilizes an NPC capacitor balanced strategy to enhance the performance of front-end AC-DC converter during load and supply voltage disturbances. The steady state as well as the dynamic performances of the proposed DPC are presented and analyzed by using MATLAB/Simulink software. The results show that the AC-DC converter utilizing the new look-up table is able to produce almost sinusoidal line currents with lower current total harmonic distortion, unity power factor operation, adjustable DC-link output voltage and good dynamic response during load disturbance.
