On the DSP-based switch-mode rectifier with robust varying-band hysteresis PWM scheme

This paper presents the development of digital signal processor (DSP) based switch-mode rectifier (SMR) with robust varying-band hysteresis current-controlled (HCC) pulse width modulated (PWM) schemes. First, a robust fixed-frequency HCC PWM control scheme is developed. Through robust harmonic spectrum shaping, the constant frequency control performance is insensitive to the changes of system parameters and operating condition, and the low frequency harmonics possess smaller magnitudes. Next, the robust HCC PWM schemes of SMR with linearly and randomly varying hysteresis bands are proposed. The harmonic spectra of the SMR are shaped to be uniformly distributed. As to the output voltage regulation control, the dynamic plant model is first estimated. Then accordingly, the controller is quantitatively designed to meet the prescribed control requirements. Significant power quality improvement in line drawn current for the SMR is achieved by using the developed HCC PWM schemes.
