Utilización de GSSA en el diseño de controladores para rectificadores AC/DC

Resum

The problem of power electric AC/DC rectification with power conversion efficiency, low electromagnetic interference, low harmonic content in the line current, closer to unity power factor, and voltage regulation for variable loads criteria, has been a topic of special interest in the last years due to the existence of strict regulations on the maximum allowed values for these specifications. The necessity to use electronic switching converters in these systems, forces to the design of controllers for the achievement of the desired objectives. In the last decade diverse schemes and control techniques for systems of this type have been proposed; being an important requirement the one that the used schemes and control techniques they imply a low implementation cost. Practical implementations of these controllers however, present some inconveniences that have been reported in the literature and that they encourage to the search of other schemes and control techniques. In this thesis a control scheme for a full-bridge type boost AC/DC rectifier is presented and validated by means of simulation and experimentation, which offers the possibility to transform the non-standard problem derived from the control objectives into this system, in one standard regulation problem, allowing the use of simpler and broadly well-known lineal and non-linear control techniques. This is achieved thanks to the use of a state space averaged modeling approach known as GSSA. For the application of the proposed scheme, the design of digital filters for the extraction in real time of the complex Fourier coefficients of specifically selected harmonics is required. In this thesis some of these filters satisfying this necessity are designed achieving a low computational cost so that the proposal has a complexity similar to that of the conventional techniques. Under the proposed control scheme some lineal and non-linear regulators for the full-bridge type boost rectifier are designed, being the main objective showing that the proposed scheme can give rise to the use of simpler control techniques different to the utilized ones before for this same problem.
