INDUCTIVE HIGH POWER TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Nikolay D. Madzharov – Anton T. Tonchev

   This paper introduces the advanced control of single-phase voltage-source active rectifier. This control provide direct control of trolley-wire current and active damping of low-frequency disturbances at the converter ac side. Our proposed control strategy combines PR controller with feed-forward model and low-frequency harmonic compensator based on resonant controllers. Achieved experimental results show excellent converter behavior, where converter is fed by strongly distorted supply voltage.
