Table-Based Direct Power Control for Three-Phase AC/DC Converters Under Unbalanced Grid Voltages

摘要

This paper proposes a simple but effective direct power control (DPC) strategy for three-phase ac/dc converters operating under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. An extended instantaneous power theory is adapted and applied in the proposed DPC, where the reactive power is expressed in the form of dot product of grid currents and delayed grid voltages. Neither complicated positiveegative sequence extraction of grid voltage/current nor power compensation is required. The switching table suitable to control both active power and reactive power is constructed by analyzing the influence of each converter voltage vector on power slopes. Compared to conventional table-based DPC using original pq theory, the proposed DPC achieves constant active power and reactive power as well as sinusoidal grid currents, while maintaining the simplicity and robustness as much as possible. The presented simulation and experimental results confirm the theoretical study and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
