Real-time multi-DSP control of three-phase current-source unity power factor PWM rectifier

The design of a real-time multi-DSP controller for a high-quality, six-valve, three-phase, current-source, unity power factor, PWM rectifier is discussed. With the decoupler preprocessor and the dynamic trilogic PWM trigger scheme, each of the three input currents can be controlled independently. Based on the a-b-c frame system control and the fast parallel computer control, the pole placement control method is implemented successfully to achieve fast response in the AC currents. The low frequency resonance in the AC filter LC networks has been damped effectively. The experimental results are obtained from a 1 kVA bipolar transistor current-source PWM rectifier with a real-time controller using three TMS320C25 DSPs. >
