A new digital control system for a single-phase half-bridge rectifier with fast dynamic response

This paper proposes a digital control system for a half-bridge boost rectifier, which composes the input stage of a single-phase transformerless double-conversion UPS. The proposed control system has an inner current loop and two outer voltage loops to maintain near unity input power factor and to regulate the dc bus voltages. The control loops operate with distinct sampling frequencies, so that current loop operates with high sampling frequency, and voltage loops operate with reduced sampling frequency and moving average filters to improve the dynamic response, without affecting the input power factor. Experimental results are included to demonstrate the performance of the closed-loop system.
