Active power control plays an important role in a pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier under both balanced and unbalanced network conditions. The prior methods to achieve active power oscillation cancellation (APOC) under unbalanced grid voltages are usually implemented by forcing the grid current to track appropriate current references. They require fine tuning work of a current controller and ...Show More
Direct power control (DPC) has attracted wide attention due to its advantages of simple structure, quick response, strong robustness, and elimination of current regulation/pulse width modulation blocks. However, conventional table-based DPC cannot work well when the grid voltages are unbalanced. Some work has been done on DPC to mitigate the influence of grid unbalance by adding power compensation...Show More
Direct power control (DPC) and model predictive control (MPC) are two well-known methods to achieve direct control of active power and reactive power in pulse-width modulation rectifiers. They both select a voltage vector, according to a switching table or by minimizing a cost function, and then apply it in the next control period. The use of only one voltage vector during one control period leads...Show More

Direct power control (DPC) attracted wide attention due to its advantages of simple structure, quick response, strong robustness and elimination of current regulation/PWM blocks. However, conventional table-based DPC cannot work well when grid voltage is unbalanced. This paper proposes an improved DPC by using a new definition of instantaneous reactive power. As a result, the distortion in grid cu...Show More
Model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) has been proposed as an effective alternative to conventional direct power control for pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) rectifiers. However, the sampling frequency of MPDPC still has to be high to achieve satisfactory performance. Furthermore, the grid currents of MPDPC would become highly distorted under unbalanced network conditions. To cope with the prob...Show More
This paper proposes a simple but effective direct power control (DPC) strategy for three-phase ac/dc converters operating under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. An extended instantaneous power theory is adapted and applied in the proposed DPC, where the reactive power is expressed in the form of dot product of grid currents and delayed grid voltages. Neither complicated positive/negative sequen...Show More
Compared with conventional table-based direct power control (DPC), DPC using space vector modulation (DPC-SVM) exhibits several specific features, such as a constant switching frequency and small ripples in both active power and reactive power. However, conventional DPC-SVM exhibits highly distorted grid currents when the grid voltages are unbalanced. In this study, we propose a novel and simple D...Show More
PWM rectifier controlled by direct power control (DPC) is characterized by the merits of quick response, no need of inner current tuning and strong robustness, etc. However, conventional table-based DPC cannot work properly when the grid voltage is unbalanced. Various methods have been proposed to mitigate the influence of grid unbalance but they are usually complicated and require positive/negati...Show More
This paper presents an improved direct power control (DPC) to achieve active power ripple minimization for three-phase PWM rectifiers. Conventional switching-table-based DPC (STDPC) selects only one voltage vector from a heuristic switching table for the whole control period, leading to high power ripples at steady state. Contrary to STDPC, the proposed DPC divides the control period into two inte...Show More
