Various control strategies have been proposed in recent paperson this type of PWM rectifier. Although these control strategiescan achieve the same main goals, such as the high power factorand near-sinusoidal input current waveforms, their principlesdiffer. It can be classified for their use of current loop con-trollers or active/reactive power controllers. Voltage-orientedcontrol (VOC) [4]–[8] is the most commonly used control tech-nique of indirect active and reactive power control. It is basedon the two-axis method for current vector orientation with re-spect to the voltage vector.

II. PREDICTIVE DPC PRINCIPLE

Conventional DPC scheme is based on the instantaneous ac-tive and reactive power control loops. As shown in Fig. 1, theswitching states of the PWM rectifier are selected by a pre-defined switching table, Table I presented in [9], based on thedigitized signals SP and Sq of tracking errors of active andreactive power, respectively, provided by a fixed band hystere-sis comparators, and the position of the power-source voltagevector, θn , in α–β plane as shown in Fig. 2.

The proposed predictive DPC scheme is based on the compu-tation of the rectifier average voltage vector vαβ using a predic-tive control algorithm, which makes instantaneous active andreactive power equal to their reference values at each sampling

instant. For this reason, instantaneous active and reactive powermeasures and commands, and power-source voltage vector eαβ

are used as input data variables of predictive control algorithmblock as shown in Fig. 3. At the beginning of each switchingperiod Ts , the rectifier average voltage vector vαβ , which allowscancellation of instantaneous active and reactive power trackingerrors at the end of the switching period, is computed. Then,SVM technique is used to generate a sequence of switchingstates, giving a sequence of adjacent rectifier vectors, to achievethe control objective with constant switching frequency.

This strategy requires a predictive model of the instantaneouspower behavior, which is described in the following steps.

In the stationary reference frame α–β and for a balancedthree-phase system, instantaneous active and reactive powersare defined as follows [25]–[27]:[

P

q

]=

[eα eβ

eβ −eα

][iα

](1)

where eαβ = [eα eβ ]T and iαβ = [iα iβ ]T being the line voltageand current vectors in static α–β coordinates, respectively.

If the sampling period Ts is assumed to be small in com-parison with the period of the power-source voltage, compo-nents of eαβ are assumed constant over the switching period(eαβ (k + 1) = eαβ (k)). As a result, the variation of active andreactive powers between two successive sampling instants canbe expressed as follows:[P (k + 1) − P (k)q(k + 1) − q(k)

]=

[eα (k) eβ (k)eβ (k) −eα (k)

][iα (k + 1) − iα (k)iβ (k + 1) − iβ (k)

].

]. (3)

230 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER ELECTRONICS, VOL. 25, NO. 1, JANUARY 2010

By neglecting the influence of the resistance of reactors R andusing a discrete first order approximation of (3), the variation ofinput current vector is obtained as follows:[

given from the outside of the controller, usually equal to zero forunity power factor operation of the converter. However, the ac-tive power command P ∗ is provided from the outer proportional-integral dc-bus voltage controller. If tracking error of dc-busvoltage is assumed constant over two successive sampling peri-ods, the instantaneous active power command at the next sam-pling instant (k + 1) can be estimated using a linear extrapola-tion as shown in Fig. 4.

Active and reactive power commands at the next samplinginstant (k + 1) are given by the following equation:[

For purely sinusoidal power-source voltages ed and eq areconstant (edq (k + 1) = edq (k)). Therefore, the variation of ac-tive and reactive powers between two successive sampling in-stants can be expressed as follows:[P (k + 1) − P (k)

III. SIMULATION RESULTS

Both predictive DPC algorithms, (9), (15), (16), of three-phase PWM rectifier developed in this work have been sim-ulated using MATLAB/SimulinkMT tool. The main electricaland control parameters, used in simulation and implementationtests, are shown in Table II. The following simulation resultsare obtained with the proposed P-DPC and conventional one forpurely sinusoidal power-source voltages.

Simulation results in steady state obtained with both P-DPCalgorithms, based on α − β and d–q components, and conven-tional DPC using switching table are shown in Fig. 5–7, re-spectively, in which (vα , vβ ) and (vd, vq ) are the calculatedrectifier average voltage vector components obtained with pre-dictive DPC algorithm.

It can be seen from these simulation results that the proposedP-DPC is much better than DPC using switching table. Figs. 5and 6 show that instantaneous active power, instantaneous reac-tive power and dc-bus voltage track their references with goodaccuracy and stability. Input currents have nearly sinusoidalwaveforms (THD = 0.65%) and in phase with line voltages.Therefore, unity power factor operation of the converter is suc-cessfully achieved by maintaining reactive power close to zero.

Fig. 5. Simulation results in steady state for P-DPC in α − β reference framefor v∗

dc = 180 V and q∗ = 0 var, THD = 0.65%.

Both predictive DPC algorithms have the same power controlperformance in steady and transient states, except that reac-tive power value has a small offset in case of α − β referenceframe. This offset is caused by the assumption that eα and eβ

are constant over the switching period (eαβ (k + 1) = eαβ (k))taken into account in (2). However, for purely sinusoidal power-source voltages, eα and eβ have a sinusoidal form. Therefore,this assumption causes a small shift between line power-sourcevoltages and input currents. In simulation, this shift is ϕ = 1.3◦

and introduce a small offset in the reactive power. In case ofd–q reference frame and for a purely sinusoidal power-sourcevoltages, the shift between line power-source voltages and in-put currents is negligible ϕ = 0.00085◦, because ed and eq areconstant and edq (k + 1) = edq (k) for all the time.

Fig. 7 shows that input currents obtained with conventionalDPC using switching table are distorted (THD = 12.05%), be-cause instantaneous active and reactive powers are poorly con-trolled. In order to compare the performance of the proposedpredictive DPC with DPC using switching table, an enlargementon one main period for sectors of active and reactive power is

presented for P-DPC and DPC using switching table in Figs. 8and 9, respectively.

Fig. 8 shows that the proposed P-DPC ensures smooth andsimultaneous control of active and reactive power during allsectors of the main period. However, Fig. 9 shows that reactivepower is poorly controlled during even sectors (2,4,6,8,10,12)and the active power is poorly controlled during odd sectors(1,3,5,7,9,11) for conventional DPC using switching table.

Fig. 10 shows transient behavior of instantaneous activeand reactive power, dc-bus voltage and input currents incase of sudden change from uncontrolled rectifier state [ob-tained inhibiting insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs)conduction and using anti-paralleling diodes] to PWM rec-tifier, operating in open loop (P ∗ is nominal (516 W) andq∗ = 0 var). After a very short transient, active power tacks itsreference with good approximation and stability, dc-bus volt-age is maintained constant, the reactive power is successfullyreduced and maintained close to zero, and input currents havenearly sinusoidal waveforms.

The predictive model of instantaneous active and reactivepower of three-phase PWM rectifier developed in this work,

represented by the (5), depends only on the parameter L of thecircuit. This inductance value L is assumed constant. Therefore,the obtained predictive DPC algorithms, (9) and (15), dependonly on the selected value of L, because the other variables(eα (k), eβ (k), εP (k), εq (k), and ∆P ∗(k)) are measured at ev-ery sampling instant and the switching period Ts is constant. Inorder to show the effect of error in the value of the inductance

Simulationresults in steady state for both predictive DPC algorithms aresimilar to those of Figs. 5 and 6.

IV. EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM AND RESULTS

The developed P-DPC has been tested en a three-phase PWMrectifier. The specifications of the experimental system are asshown previously in Table II. The test bench, shown in Fig. 11,has been developed at the LAII-Laboratory, France. It consists

Fig. 12. Experimental waveforms in steady state for predictive DPC for v∗dc =

of a three-phase IGBT based inverter of 20 kVA (SEMIKRON)with anti-paralleling diodes (module SKM 40 GB 121D) andthree two-channel driver (SKHI 21), which plays the role ofthe PWM rectifier. Two Hall-effect CTs LEM (PR30) and threeisolation amplifiers HAMEG (HZ64) are employed to measuretwo input currents (ia and ic ), the dc-bus voltage and two line-to-line power-source voltages (eab and eca ), respectively.

The predictive DPC algorithms run under the MATLAB/SimulinkMT environment in a dSPACE DSP system (DS1104)real-time platform inserted in a PC-Pentium. Slave DSP three-phase PWM generation block is employed to convert duty cyclesprovided by SVM to PWM signals Sa , Sb , and Sc .

The experimental results in steady state, for both predictiveDPC algorithms in α − β and d–q reference frame, are simi-lar and showed in Fig. 12. Moreover, experimental results ofconventional DPC using switching table are showed in Fig. 13.These experimental results are very close to the previous sim-ulation results and prove the validity of the proposed P-DPC,which is much better than conventional one.

Fig. 12 shows that dc-bus voltage, instantaneous active andreactive powers are constant and very close to their references.Input currents have nearly sinusoidal waveforms and in phasewith line power-source voltages because the reactive power ismaintained close to zero. Fig. 13 shows that instantaneous active

and reactive powers are poorly controlled in case of conventionalDPC using switching table and input currents are distorted.

In order to better appreciate the input current waveforms andthe unity power factor operation, Figs. 14 and 15 show ex-perimental measurements obtained by using power and qualityanalyzer instrument for P-DPC and conventional DPC respec-tively. It can be seen from these figures that input currents forP-DPC are more quasi-sinusoidal (THD = 2.5%) than thoseof conventional DPC (THD = 15.5%). The reactive power forP-DPC is very close to zero (q = 1.9 var). However, it is big incase of conventional DPC (q = 86.6 var).

In order to show the performance of power control of theproposed predictive DPC, compared to conventional one, intransient state, the active power command P ∗ is increased inthe following experimental test showed in Fig. 16 from 300 to500 W. After a very short transient, the active power is main-tained close to its new reference with good approximation andstability for the proposed predictive DPC. The reactive poweris maintained null even in this transient response. From thisfigure, it can be observed that the proposed P-DPC ensures aperfect decoupling between active power control and reactivepower control. As a consequence, the input currents have nearlysinusoidal waveforms in this transient. The proposed DPC isalso much better than conventional one.

power tracks its new reference with good stability and accuracy.Decoupling control between active power and reactive power isalso successfully achieved in this test.

V. CONCLUSION

This paper has presented the development of a direct powercontrol scheme based on predictive approach (P-DPC) for three-phase PWM rectifier. The proposed DPC scheme operates withconstant switching frequency using SVM. Two digital P-DPCalgorithms, allowing direct control of instantaneous active andreactive power, using stationary α − β or rotating d–q coor-dinates, are possible. For both control algorithms, tracking er-rors of instantaneous active and reactive power are cancelledin each sampling instant by applying the required rectifier av-erage voltage vector during the switching period. Simulationand experimental results have proved excellent performance ofthe proposed P-DPC, even in both transient and steady states,compared to conventional DPC using switching table. Smoothand simultaneous control of active and reactive power is ob-tained. Good regulation and stability of the dc-bus voltage withpower factor close to one are successfully achieved with bothcontrol algorithms (tracking error of vdc ≤ 1 V, input currentTHD ≤1% for simulation, and ≤3% for experimental).
