Abstract
High-order wide-output (HOWO) impedance-source converters (ISCs) have been presented for ac inverter applications that require voltage step-up ability. With intrinsic passive impedance networks as energy sources, these converters are able to achieve voltage boosting with either polarity, leading to improved dc-link voltage utilization compared with the conventional two-level converter. However, HOWO-ISCs suffer from transfer functions giving low bandwidth, a penalty of increased passive devices and right-half-plane zeros, which result in lower order distortion of the ac output power. In this paper, a modified plugin repetitive control scheme is presented for HOWO-ISCs with accurate reference tracking (hence low distortion), fast dynamic response, and enhanced robustness. By using zero-phase-shift finite impulse response filters in both the internal model of the repetitive controller and its compensation network, the proposed method achieves zero steady-state error and an extended closedloop bandwidth. For HOWO-ISC cases, this method outperforms conventional proportional-integral (PI) control, which has considerable steady-state error. It also eliminates the need of parallel loops for several frequencies when proportional resonant control or orthogonal transformation-based PI schemes are used to remove lower order distortion. The design process and performance analysis of the proposed repetitive control strategy are based on a novel three-phase HOWO-ISC configuration with a reduced number of switches. Simulation and experimental results confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
