Technique to Improve the Transient Response of Parallel-Connected AC/DC Converters

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a technique to improve the transient response of a parallel-connected AC/DC converter has been studied. The proposed technique is used to improve the transient response while disturbance is injected into the system. Generally, a conventional voltage loop control uses a PI controller, because of which a slow transient response is observed. In this paper, the voltage loop control is composed of a signal from the PI controller added with a peak input current and gain scheduling of change in peak input current. The performance evaluation was experimented on a three-module isolated CUK AC/DC converter, with a 500W load and-48V DC output voltage. The system achieves the following: tight output voltage regulation, good current sharing, and low harmonic distortion. Moreover, the disturbance occurs in the system by an immediate load change, and the output voltages are at minimum overshoot and undershoot with a fast settling time.
