The current control of Continuous Conduction Mode(CCM) can be implemented by several methods: peak current control; average current control; and hysteresis control. Among these methods, the hysteresis current control is popularly applied in various converter applications because of its simplicity of implementation, fast current control response and inherent peak current limiting capability. However, a current controller with conventional hysteresis band which multiplies the current reference has the disadvantage that the modulation frequency varies in one cycle of the input voltage and, as a result, generates high switching frequency in the low input voltage section. Also it is complicated to design the input filter due to varying switching frequency. This paper proposed an optimum hysteresis-band current control method where the band is generated by using both multiplication method and sum method to maintain the modulation frequency to be nearly constant. This approach can solve the high switching frequency in the low input voltage section, and achieve easy design of input filter. The performance of the proposed converter is verified with the simulation and the experimental works.

Among the various PWM methods, the hysteresis-band current control PWM method is popularly used because of its simplicity of implementation, fast response characteristics and inherent peak current limiting capability. However, the current control PWM method with a fixed hysteresis-band has the disadvantage that switching frequency decreases and current ripple is high as the increasing of back-EMF. As a result, load current contains excess harmonics. This paper describes a adaptive hysteresis-bandwidth control algorithm so as to maintain the average switching frequency constant and decrease the current ripple where the hysteresis bandwidth is derived as a relation with the switching frequency. This control algorithm is applied to the surface-type brushless DC motor with separated winding and using the computer simulation, the validity of its algorithm is proved.

Hysteresis current regulator has been used widely because of its simple principle and structure. However, when the current band width is too narrow or the applied voltage is relatively too high, the switching frequency may increase abruptly and it generates a large amount of heat. Thus, this study will suggest a better and simple method to reduce the switching frequency. For single phase current control, the proposed hysteresis current control is executed by adding 0 mode state and comparing the slope of the current reference. This simple method decreases the generated switching frequency and significantly reduces the generated heat. This proposed method was proved with simulations and experiments comparing with the classical hysteresis current control method.

Hysteresis controllers are intrinsically robust to system parameters, exhibit very high dynamic response and are suitable for simple implementation. But the current control using a conventional hysteresis controller has the disadvantage that high switching frequency may happen due to lack of coordination among individual hysteresis controllers of three phases. This will of course increase the switching loss. In addition, the current error is not strictly limited. So, in this paper to reduce the switching frequency, a double band hysteresis current controller is proposed. The presented control system was tested with digital simulation in the Borland C++ program and demonstrate the advantage of proposed hysteresis current controller.

The current control using a conventional hysteresis controller of a STATCOM based on two level VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) has high switching frequency and variable modulation frequency. This will increase the switching loss. In addition, the current error is not strictly limited So, in this paper to reduce the switching frequency and to maintain the constant modulation frequency, a novel double band hysteresis current controller based on 3-level VSI is proposed. A conventional hysteresis current control and a novel hysteresis current control was tested with digital simulation and verified the advantage of the novel hysteresis current controller.

A hysteresis control is widely used to control output current of inverter. A hysteresis bandwidth is affected by system parameters such as source voltage, device on/off time, load inductance and resistance. The frequency limiter is used to protect switching devices overload. In the conventional hysteresis controller, a lock-out circuit with D-latch and timer is used to device protection circuit. But switching delay time and harmonic components are appeared in output current. In this paper the performance of lock-out circuit is tested, and new circuit for switching device fault protection is proposed ad it's performance is simulated.

Due to advancements in power electronics and inverter topologies, the current controlled multilevel voltage-source pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter is usually preferred for accurate control, quick response and high dynamic performance. A multilevel topology approach is found to be best suited for overcoming many problems arising from the use of high power converters. This paper presents a comprehensive review and comparative study of several current control (CC) techniques for multilevel inverters with a special emphasis on various approaches of the hysteresis current controller. Since the hysteresis CC technique poses a problem of variable switching frequency, a ramp-comparator controller and a predictive controller to attain constant switching frequency are described along with its quantitative comparison. Furthermore, various methods have been reviewed to achieve hysteresis current control PWM with constant switching frequency operation. This paper complies various guidelines to choose a particular method suitable for application at a given power level, switching frequency and dynamic response.

Previous dynamic models of hysteresis motor use an extended induction machine equivalent circuit or somewhat different equivalent circuit with conventional one, which makes unsatisfiable results. In this paper, the hysteresis dynamic characteristics of the motor rotor are analyzed using the inverse Preisach model and the hysteresis motor equivalent circuit considering eddy current effect. The hysteresis loop for the rotor ring is analyzed under full-load voltage source static state. The calculated hysteresis loop is then approximated to an ellipse for simplicity of dynamic computation. The permeability and delay angle of the elliptic loop apply to the dynamic analysis model. As a result, it is possible to dynamically analyze the hysteresis motor according to the applied voltage and the rotor material. With this method, the motor speed, generated torque, load angle, rotor current as well as synchronous entry time, hunting effect can be calculated.

The conventional adaptive hysteresis band current control technique has disadvantages such that on-line calculation of the hysteresis band is very complex, therefore, the adaptive hysteresis band must be stored in the look-up table. In this paper, a new simplified adaptive hysteresis band current control technique with phase decoupling is presented. The adaptive band is independent of the back EMFs. Using this adaptive band and the phase decoupled current error, the modulation frequency is fixed at nearly constant and the PWM inverter has optimal switching pattern.

In this study, for single phase current control, the hysteresis current control is executed by adding 0 mode state and comparing the slope of the current reference, which decreases the switching frequency so much and make the current control much stable. These were proved with computer simulations.
