Abstract:

Proposed in this paper is a direct power control scheme for three-phase PWM rectifiers based on the sliding-mode variable-structure control theory. In this scheme, the slide-mode variable-structure control system with strong robustness, excellent dynamic performance and simple parameter tuning is employed to remedy the shortcomings of the conventional direct power control system based on PI algorithms, namely high sensitivity to external disturbances and PI parameters and large total harmonic distortion (THD) of line current. Then, both the proposed and the conventional PI-based control schemes for three-phase PWM rectifiers are modeled and compared in Matlab/Simulink simulation environment. The results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional one.
