Nonlinear and vector closed-loop control methods for flying-capacitor power converters

Modulator for 4-level Flying Capacitor Converter with Balancing Control in the Closed Loop

This paper presents a modulator with an active voltage balancing control for the three-phase fourlevel FLC converter based electric motor drive for applications supplied directly from a 6 kV ac-grid. It describes a modulation algorithm of the FLC converter by using the phase shifted PWM modulation with balancing voltage of the flying capacitor by using P controllers in the closed loop. The prop...

Closed Loop Control Methods

In this paper, a systematic overview of PLL-based closed-loop control methods for interleaved DCM/CCM boundary boost PFC converters is presented. It is shown that the PLL-based closed-loop methods always provide stable operation, unlike the open-loop control methods, where the only method which results in stable operation is the slave synchronization to the turn-on instant of the master with cu...

Time Optimal Closed - Loop Fuzzy - Control Strategy for Nonlinear Lunar Lander Mission

Closed loop power control for LTE uplink

This thesis study involves designing, implementing and testing of a novel radio resource control algorithm for the closed loop power control in the LTE uplink. Different values of the path loss compensation factor are investigated in the range 0.7-1.0 and an optimal value of 0.8 as allowed by the LTE standard is proposed. Both the ideal and a more realistic case modeled by including delay, erro...

Model-free control of nonlinear power converters

A new "model-free" control methodology is applied to a boost power converter. The properties of the boost converter allow to evaluate the performances of the model-free strategy in the case of switching nonlinear transfer functions, regarding load variations. Our approach, which utilizes "intelligent" PI controllers, does not require any converter model identification while ensuring the stabili...
