Title
Control System Design of a Three-Phase Active Front End Using a Sliding-Mode Observer
Abstract
This article proposes a sliding-mode-observer (SMO)-based control strategy to regulate the dc-link voltage for a three-phase two-level active front end (AFE). The SMO is designed for the voltage control loop to estimate the external load which is abruptly connected to the AFE dc-link and consequently causes the dc-link voltage fluctuation. The estimated load value is used to compensate the voltage loop controller, therefore, the voltage loop gains more robustness against the load perturbation and its disturbing effect is greatly reduced. The effectiveness and advantage of the proposed control strategy has been verified through theoretical analysis, simulations, and the real-application experiments conducted on a 5 KVA laboratory AFE. The results show that the proposed control strategy provides obvious improvement of the dc-link voltage control performance comparing with the conventional PI controller and demonstrates stronger robustness against the operating point variations caused by the changes in external load and dc-link capacitance.
