This integration of PI controller (voltage) and fuzzy controller (current) in multiloop interleaved control (MIC)
operated three level converter for marine AC/DC applications is proposed. Parameters characterizing the power quality comprise
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and input power factor are measured along with steady state and dynamic performance
analysis in single phase three level AC-DC converter which is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. MIC’s merits are reduction of
compensating block and number of parameter sensing still individual capacitor voltages can be balanced. This system possesses
PI as external twirl voltage controller and internal twirl current controller integrated in MIC where the current controller is now
replaced as FLC. From the simulation results, it is found that FLC current controller with PI voltage controller performs better
with 3.23% of source current THD at rated power and less than 5% for wide load variations and affirms unity power factor
compared to conventional PI controller.

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
INDIAN J. MAR. SCI., VOL. 46, NO. 09, SEPTEMBER 2017
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
(MIC) block of the boost type three level AC-DC converter for marine applications. It comprises of
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.
Fig. 2. Block diagram of multiloop interleaved control
(MIC)
|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.

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.

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.
