Abstract:

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are becoming more popular today and are a promising technology that could eventually replace gasoline-powered vehicles. When the BEVs and the charging stations were connected, the power grade deteriorated and fell short of IEEE criteria. There are various converters/rectifiers in the electronics world, such as Swiss rectifiers, matrix converters, unidirectional boost converters, Vienna rectifiers, etc. The Vienna rectifier is the most favourable topology due to fewer switches, ease of fabrication, high power density, and unity power factor with the suitable control strategy. To control the DC components, the conventional Vienna rectifiers are designed with Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers, which give a prolonged response to the reference input, and also the PI controller with an AC component having a zero-crossing point very close to the line current. So, the device’s Power Factor degrades (PF), increasing THD. To overcome the problem, this paper presents the Model Predictive Controlled (MPC) Closed Loop 1Φ Vienna Rectifier fed DC Drive System (CLSPVRDDS). The proposed system is tested with the MATLAB/Simulink software and compared with the conventional PI controller-based system. Performance metrics for CLSPVRDDS employing MPC, such as settle and rise time, peak time, and steady-state error, may be compared to those of current PI controllers. The simulation result shows that fast dynamic speed and torque responses can be obtained using the CLSPVRDDS system with the MPC controller. This proposed method produces a quicker dynamic reaction than the existing PI controller.
