Wide Frequency PWM Rectifier Control System Based on Improved Deadbeat Direct Power Control

The precision of deadbeat direct power control depends on the parameters of the system model. In wide frequency applications, such as multi- electric aircraft and electric vehicles, variations in frequency and resistive parameters will affect the control effect. The AC side voltage frequency of the generator rectifier varies widely, which will lead to a steady-state reactive power error in the deadbeat direct power control. In addition, the large temperature variation range during the operation of the multi-electric aircraft and electric vehicles leads to large changes in the filter inductance and line resistance of the AC side, and the model parameters do not match the actual parameters, which will further deteriorate the control accuracy. In this paper, a PWM rectifier control method is proposed for the occasions when the frequency and temperature change are in a wide range. Using repetitive control and power compensation, it solves the problems of steady-state reactive power error and control accuracy degradation caused by the mismatch of model parameters under severe operating conditions. The control method can precisely adjust the output DC voltage of PWM rectifier, and it also can maintain unity power factor and reduce the total harmonic distortion rate of the input current. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by the experimental results.
