Abstract

Direct power control (DPC) has gained increasing attention in recent years as a simple and efficient control strategy for pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifiers. In this paper, the idea of DPC is introduced into the three-phase coupled inductor-based bipolar-output active rectifier (TCIBAR) for the first time, and a virtual vector-based direct power control (VVB-DPC) strategy is proposed for TCIBAR to realize the bipolar DC power supply for more electric aircraft (MEA). First, the mathematical model of the TCIBAR is deduced, and the basic principle of the classic DPC strategy is reviewed. On this basis, the limitations of the classic DPC strategy in TCIBAR control are analyzed. Second, a set of virtual vectors are derived to establish a novel virtual-vector switching table. Based on the virtual-vector switching table, the hysteresis power control of TCIBAR can be realized without affecting the DC-side neutral-point potential of TCIBAR. Finally, a neutral-point potential control method based on DPC architecture is studied and integrated into the VVB-DPC strategy to maintain the bipolar DC voltage balance of TCIBAR under unbalanced load conditions. The VVB-DPC strategy is experimentally studied on a TCIBAR prototype, and the experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
