This study develops a digital control scheme with power factor correction for a front-end converter in an electric vehicle battery charger. The front-end converter acts as the boost-type switching-mode rectifier. The converter assumes the two roles of the battery charger, which include power factor control and robust charging performance. The proposed control scheme consists of a charging control algorithm and a grid current control algorithm. The scheme aims to obtain unity input power factor and robust performance. Based on the linear average model of the converter, a constant-current constant-voltage charging control algorithm that passes through only one proportional-integral controller and a current feed-forward path is proposed. In the current control algorithm, we utilized a second band pass filter, a single-phase phase-locked loop technique, and a duty-ratio feed-forward term to control the grid current to be in phase with the grid voltage and achieve pure sinusoidal waveform. Simulations and experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, both simulations and experiments.

A single-stage AC-AC converter has been designed for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) that eliminates multistage operation and DC-link filter elements, thus resolving size, weight, and reliability issues. A simple switching strategy is used to control the switches that changes the variable-frequency AC output of an electrical generator to a constant-frequency supply to feed into a distributed electrical load/grid. In addition, a modified random sinusoidal pulse width modulation (RSPWM) technique has been developed for the designed converter to make the overall system more efficient by increasing generating power capacity and reducing the effects of inter-harmonics and sub-harmonics generated in the WECS. The technique uses carrier and reference waves of variable switching frequency to calculate the firing angles of the switches of the converter so that the three-phase output voltage of the converter is very close to a sine wave with reduced THD. A comparison of the performance of the proposed RSPWM technique with the conventional SPWM demonstrated that the power generated by a turbine in the proposed approximately increased by 5% to 10% and THD reduces by 40% both in voltage and current with respect to conventional SPWM.

본 연구에서는 SPWM 구동방식의 단상 풀 브리지 인버터의 전압제어계를 설계하였다. 전압제어계는 단상 풀-브리지 인버터, 출력전압과 기준전압의 오차를 선형적으로 보상하기 위한 PI 제어기, 제어기 신호로부터 SPWM 방식을 이용하여 게이트 신호를 발생시키기 위한 PWM 구동회로, 인버터 출력 전압 파형을 정현 파형으로 필터링하기 위한 LC 필터로 구성하였다. 끝으로, EMTP-RV를 이용하여 PWM 구동방식을 기반으로 하는 단상 풀-브리지 인버터의 전압 제어계를 모델링하였고 수개의 기준전압에 대한 시뮬레이션 연구를 통해 출력전압이 정확하게 기준전압을 수렴하는 것을 확인함으로서 제어계 설계의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.
