Control of single-phase AC/DC converter based on SOGI-PLL voltage synchronization

This paper introduces the advanced control designed for the single-phase AC/DC traction converter. This type of control provides direct current control and sufficient control of output voltage. The proposed control strategy is based on second order general integrator phase locked loop (SOGI-PLL), which is used for trolley voltage synchronization. In this case SOGI-PLL evaluates voltage position, amplitude and frequency. These data are used for precise and robust current control, which uses PR controller. The behavior of designed control and SOGI-PLL synchronization is analyzed by both simulations and experiments made on developed 1.5 kW laboratory prototype.
