Abstract: A high performance single phase three-arms PWM rectifier inverter is presented. A
switching control approach for the common arm is proposed such that control of the rectifier arm
and inverter arm can be designed independently. Variable structure control (VSC) executed with
capacitor current control is developed to design the inverter. For the rectifier design, an instantaneous
power feedback controller using filter theory is proposed to enhance the DC voltage regulator to
reduce DC voltage fluctuation and minimise input current distortion. A 3kVA system is implemented
to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

If PWM is employed on each arm, one can derive the following equations from the rectifier side and the inverter
side of Fig. 1, respectively:

L= (SB

- SA)vd -vo

where 9, is the amplitude of the triangular modulation
PWM signal. Substituting eqn. 3 into eqns. 1 and 2 results
in:

e , = U,*- U,
e, = i,*,,

(4)
- VconA) - v o
(5)
(10)
where * means command of the variable, and lower-case
letters are used to represent the control circuit variables on
the counterpart of the power circuits.
From eqn. 10, one obtains:

L= kpwm(vconC

o = e,

then the VSC controller can be designed as:

Due to the decoupling action of eqn. 6, the currents of each
subsystem can be controlled independently. Based on the
above converter model and Fig. 1, one can note further
features of the three-arms converter:
(i) Noting the current flow labelled in Fig. 1, the COM-arm
carries the current difference between the REC-arm and the
INV-arm. Under unity power factor, if V, is synchronous
to Vu and Vu = V,, and when the input real power maintains balance with the output load real power, the current
difference flowing in the COM-arm will be the reactive
power and harmonic current of the load. Therefore the
power rating of the COM-arm can be lower than the other
two arms depending on the allowable power factor of the
load.

The first term of vConBis the equivalent control and the second term is the reachng control of VSC. The reachng control contains a feedfo,rward control signal to eliminate the
known disturbance i&,
vd and vu in eqn. 12 prevent
excessive control effort in vCod. The gain of the switching
component in the reaching control should satisfy the following inequalities to ensure aiT < 0:
k > kslILl

Once sliding mode is achieved, the sliding dynamic is governed by:
0 1
(I6)
=i
$ 0 h,]
It is obvious that the system is Hurwitze stable if h > 0, in
addition, the response speed can be specified by selection of
parameter h.
