CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR AC-DC AND DC-AC CONVERSION CAPABLE OF BIDIRECTIONAL ACTIVE AND REACTIVE POWER PROCESSING

摘要

A control architecture that overcomes limitations of conventional ac-dc converters and enables bidirectional active and reactive power processing is provided. In one implementation, for example, this may be achieved through the use of unrectified sensed ac signals in the generation of the control commands for the converter. This control architecture, in this example implementation, eliminates or at least reduces zero crossing distortions in the ac current of the converter even with relatively low bandwidth controllers. The concept can be applied to different power stage topologies.
