Introduction

Single-phase AC-DC converters are very

commonly preferred as front end rectifiers for

marine applications because of its high power

density and increased efficiency. Typical

diode/thyristor rectifiers yield poor power factor

and inject high harmonics into source current thus

pollute the power quality of input ac mains.

Inserting an inductor on the AC supply side to

improve a current waveform but this reduces the

power factor 1-3

. Permissible limits of harmonics

in supply current is prescribed by IEEE 519 and

IEC 1000-3-2 4,5.

, the Power Factor Correction

(PFC) is given more attention nowadays due to

the evolution and tremendous usage of power-

electronic products. Boost type converters are

chiefly employed in power factor correction as it

works with continuous source current and the

magnitude of dc voltage is surely larger than

source voltage’s maximum value 6. The term

multiloop refers to outer voltage loop comprising

of PI controller and an inner current loop where

PI and fuzzy controllers are employed. The

regulated dc output voltage and boost inductor

current are sensed; both the signals are applied to

the corresponding loops, got processed by

controllers and produce desired gating pulses to

the converter to ensure proper function 7-10

.

In 11

and 12

, extra compensation blocks are

integrated in multiloop control for motor

applications enhance power quality at supply side.

Power switch of single component has to bear the

whole regulated dc output at the time of blocking

period of MOSFET. When employed in high

power applications, power devices are subjected

to severe voltage stress. Usage of multilevel

converters is the best solution for the above

mentioned problems when operated in high

power/voltage applications. Classical three-level

converter comprises eight power switches which

is the major limitation of the topology. Hence,

three level AC-DC converter with two power

semiconductor switches is presented in this paper.

In high power applications, single level

boost converter needs bulk inductance, and

provides high current distortion. In order to

reduce bulk inductance, to reduce the

electromagnetic interference (EMI), multilevel

converters comprising low potential pressure

devices are found to be suitable in high voltage

working environment 13

. Capacitors are cascaded

to the switches for production of three levels of

output voltage in multilevel boost topology. Thus,

voltage stress to each switch is reduced to half the

amount as compared to boost converter.

Therefore, lesser current ripples in boost three-

level rectifier in comparison to classical boost

converter. DC/DC conversion 14-18

involved in

fuel cell applications 16,17

and grid-integrated

applications 15, 19-20

are the areas where three level

converters are chiefly employed.

Power switches able to withstand high

voltage stress possess larger drain-source

resistances. Lesser ripple current, low switching

stress and low switching loss 6, 15, and 20

are the

merits of three-level converter. DC-DC three-

level converter 21-24, 25-26

integrated with bridge

rectifier forms three-level AC-DC converter.

Gating pulses to three-level SMR (ac/dc

application) 22–24

are generated using lookup table.

Individual capacitor voltage sensing and extra

voltage compensation sub-blocks must be

included for proper functioning of multilevel

converter in dc/dc applications 17-18, 20-21, 27

.

The nominal characteristic of AC - DC

multilevel converter with interleaved PWM

control is derived. The result of interleaved PWM

three level AC- DC rectifier behaves similar to

conventional AC-DC boost converter even when

the two dc-link capacitor voltages are imbalanced 26

. Interleaved PWM control signals obtained

from multiloop control doesn’t require region

selector 27-28

and supplementary compensation

blocks. Also, less volume of inductance is used in

multilevel boost configuration circuit 29

. Hence,

MIC is more feasible than the typical control

method 26, 30

. PI voltage and PI current control

technique adopted in 26

, claimed to have achieved

4.43% THD in source current and 0.994 input

power factor. Recently, Fuzzy intelligent

controller is implemented for control signals

generation. In 31-38

, FLC is used in DC-DC

converter and also used in two level AC-DC

converter.

In this paper, fuzzy logic current control

is proposed in multiloop interleaved control

without feed forward loop for the single-phase

boost type AC-DC three-level rectifier for marine

applications. The incorporation of attaining

source side low THD and unity PF with the help

of PI (voltage) – PI (current); PI (voltage) – Fuzzy

(current) control strategies are implemented. The

results obtained for FLC based current supervisor

are correlated with the results obtained for

classical PI current supervisor. The novel PI-

fuzzy combination integrated with multilevel

boost topology finds its applications in marine

areas like front stage for battery charger, UPS,

and three-level inverter related applications. This

manuscript suggested improved fuzzy logic

current controller with PI voltage control method.

In this work, source current Total Harmonic

Distortion of 3.23% was achieved and also power

factor closer to unity which is better than that

reported in literature 26

. Also the supply current

THD attained is within the IEEE-519

specifications.

Figure 2 shows the multi loop interleaved control

phase locked loop, conventional multi loop

control with voltage controller and current

controller, feed forward loop and interleaved

PWM scheme. Output voltage is sensed and

compared with actual reference in order to

produce error voltage which is then processed by

voltage controller.

|sin ωt| is obtained with the help of phase

locked loop. Reference current is generated with

the help of |sin ωt| amplified with control signal

output from voltage controller. Error current is

then obtained from the comparison of boost

inductance current to actual inductor current. The

current controller output accompanied with the

feed forward term produces a control signal Vc.

This signal Vc is applied to two ramp signals to

produce gating pulses to three level converter.

Gating pulses of same amplitude are given a

phase shift of 1800.

The multiloop interleaved control can be

reduced with the exclusion of feed forward loop.

This reduced multiloop interleaved control is

accompanied with fuzzy logic current controller

provides the same tracking performance without

the necessity of feed forward loop. The proposed

control circuit is shown in Figure.3. The PI

controller minimizes the error value at most to

zero. Rise time got reduced by tuning

proportional gain (Kp) and steady state error got

vanished by tuning integral gain (Ki) helps three

level converter to produce desired output.

Fig. 3. Proposed block diagram of control circuit

Error in output voltage after got

processed by the PI controller provides the

maximum value of supply current. 0.3 and 3.4 are

the corresponding values of Kp and Ki

respectively. With these gain constants, PI

controller regulate the output voltage to

predefined set value.

Deviating nature of the three level converter while

put into operation under time varying conditions

can be handled by the intelligent FLC. Here, FLC

is chosen as current controller. FLC is fed with

inductor error current. Design of fuzzy logic

controller is illustrated in Figure 3a, 3b and 3c.

The very liable mamdani fis structure is

employed.

Fig. 4a. Simulated circuit diagram of three level AC-DC

converter with MIC control for marine applications

Figure 4a presents the simulink model of

three level boost type AC-DC converter

integrated with multiloop interleaved control for

marine applications. Simulation was executed in

MATLAB. Here, PI (voltage)-Fuzzy (current)

controller combination is implemented for

regulating dc voltage and shaping of supply

current in three level boost type switched mode

rectifier. By implementing this controllers

combination, the desired power factor correction

(i.e.) unity power factor, lesser THD in source

current can be achieved in addition to the output

voltage regulation. And the feed forward loop can

be eliminated by implementing fuzzy logic

current control. Thus the desired power factor

correction can be achieved by using multiloop

interleaved control with the reduction in feed

forward loop.

voltage/current signals for proportional integral

control. Zero phase shift is maintained by both

voltage & current signals providing unity power

factor. The output voltage is regulated at 48V.

Figure 5b shows the FFT analysis of

source current using PI-PI (voltage-current)

controller at nominal load. From the FFT analysis,

source current distortion obtained is 4.16% which

is within the IEEE standard value of less than 5%.

Table 3 indicates the behaviour of three level

boost type AC-DC converter under load

variations. At rated load condition, THD of

supply current is 4.16%. The input power factor

becomes 0.9991 (i.e.) nearly unity. By increasing

the load resistance, source current harmonics also

increases and output voltage is maintained

constant.

Conclusion

The paper deals with the design and

modeling of fuzzy current controller in multiloop

interleaved control for single phase three level

boost type AC-DC converter in

MATLAB/Simulink. Main benefit of three level

converter is the ability to generate high voltage

with reduced voltage stress on the switches.

Fuzzy logic controller as current controller

instead of conventional PI controller integrated in

multiloop interleaved control method reduces the

THD value to 3.23% without adding any filter on

supply side and power factor to be unity and also

fuzzy current controller eliminates the necessity

of feed forward loop in multiloop interleaved

control for marine applications. Analysis for

sudden disturbances in load as well as source side

for three level converter are checked and verified

that fuzzy logic current controller produces better

power quality enhancement. THD of source

current have been limited within IEEE 519

standard limit for wide variations of load with

power factor near to unity.
