The equivalent circuits of three-phase four-wire PWM

are shown in Fig.2 according to (6)-(11).
According to above equations and equivalent circuits,
positive-sequence and negative-sequence components of
fundamental, high-order harmonic components from AC
input voltage can cause a series of even harmonics of DC link
current in the 0 dq rotating frame. At the same time, zero-
sequence component of AC input current can also cause even
harmonic of DC current (2
nd
harmonic). Due to the existence
of the above even harmonics DC-link voltage ripple appears.
This leads to increase the DC link capacitance to reduce the
DC link voltage ripple.

From the equation (13) it can be seen that the zero-
sequence power do not influence upon the instantaneous input
reactive power.
According to the equations (12)-(14), it can be concluded
that under unbalanced and distorted operating conditions,
combination of positive-sequence and negative-sequence of
fundamental, high-order harmonic input voltages and input
currents leads to a series of even and high harmonics of
power. Moreover, the combination of the zero-sequence of
fundamental input voltages and input currents causes also 2
nd
harmonic fluctuation of active power .The active power
fluctuations caused by the above harmonics are transferred to
the DC link and cause the ripple on the DC link voltage.
IV. POSITIVE-NEGATIVE-ZERO SEQUENCE CURRENT
REFERENCE CONTROL STRATEGY
Based on the circuit model and mathematical model of
power of three-phase four-wire PWM boost converter, it can
be concluded that in order to improve the performance of the
system under unbalanced and distorted operating conditions,
the ultimate goal of the control strategy is
to minimize and even to eliminate the high-order
harmonics in the DC link voltage
to minimize and even to eliminate the high-order
harmonics in input AC currents
to keep power factor of the input supply unity
In order to avoid the complexity of transformation among
different coordinate systems, the controllers are designed and
realized in the stationary frame. Therefore all of current
controllers are realized with resonant controllers.
Under the unbalanced and distorted operating conditions
positive-sequence and negative-sequence of fundamental
input currents, high-order harmonic input currents and zero
sequence input currents can lead to the ripple of DC link
voltage. Therefore, positive-sequence, the negative-sequence
T12-8

Fig. 4 Current reference calculation block diagram
, zero sequence and high-order harmonic input current need to
be controlled in the system.
The control part of the overall system consists of two
regulating loops including an outer DC voltage regulating
loop and an inner input current regulating loop.
The outer loop regulates the DC link voltage. The inner
input current control loop includes the fundamental
component current controller and the high-order harmonic
current controller. The fundamental component current
controller consists of the positive-negative sequence current
controller and zero-sequence current controller.
The current references of the positive-negative sequence of
fundamental component current controller are calculated on
the basis of the modified four control laws as (16).
For three-phase four-wire system, besides four control
laws, according to the analysis in section 3, the zero-sequence
voltage and current can contribute to the fluctuation in the
active power at the converter pole
out
p .Hence, the fifth
control law is added by setting

nd
order
harmonic. The peak of 2
nd
ripple voltage is about 32.5v.
Similarly DC link voltage includes also 4
th
and 6
th
order
harmonics. But the values are smaller than 2
nd
order
harmonic. Using the positive-negative-zero sequence current
reference control scheme a little ripple appears in the
waveform of the DC link voltage. The peak of ripple voltage
is about 2.51v. The ripple is caused mainly by 4
th
order
harmonic and 6
th
order harmonic. Product of 5
th
order
harmonic voltage with negative sequence fundamental current
results in 6
th
order harmonic of DC link voltage. Similarly
product of 5
th
order harmonic voltage with positive sequence
fundamental current results in 4
th
order harmonic of DC link
voltage. Besides the ac line current is almost sinusoidal.
In order to compare the difference results of the two control
schemes, the DC link voltages are drawn in one figure as
Fig.5. AC input voltage and current waveforms of single
phase are shown in Fig.6.
AC current THD and ripple of DC voltage of the two

sequence control scheme a large ripple appears in the
waveform of the DC link voltage. The ripple is caused mainly
by 2
nd
order harmonic. The peak of 2
nd
ripple voltage is about
86.4v. Similarly dc link voltage includes also 4

and 6
th
harmonics, e.g. 4
th
order harmonic voltage value is 6.6V.
Using the positive-negative-zero sequence current reference
control scheme a little ripple appears in the waveform of the

ripple is caused mainly by 4

VI. CONCLUSIONS
From the simulation waveforms and tables in section 5, it
can be seen that under 33% unbalance under one-phase input
voltage condition the THD value for the three line currents
using the positive-negative-zero sequence current reference
controller(0.635%)is smaller than using the conventional
positive sequence controller (2.6%). Under single-line-
ground-fault condition the THD value for the three line
currents using the proposed controller (0.65%) is smaller than
using the conventional positive sequence controller (3.2%).
under the two simulation conditions the voltage ripple across
the DC link using the positive-negative-zero sequence current
reference controller is smaller than that using the
conventional single positive sequence controller. Therefore
under unbalanced and distorted operating conditions the
control performance of the positive-negative-zero sequence
current reference controller is better than that of the
conventional single positive sequence controller. Moreover
the harmonics of AC input currents are almost eliminated and
the input power factor keeps unity using the positive-
negative-zero sequence control scheme. Therefore, the
control strategy proposed in the paper is more advantageous
than the control methods presented in [4] and [6].
