A novel discrete control strategy for independent stabilization of parallel three-phase boost converters by combining space-vector modulation with variable-structure control

We propose a discrete nonlinear controller, developed in a synchronous frame, for a parallel three-phase boost converter consisting of two modules. The basic idea, however, can be extended to a system with N modules. Each of the closed-loop power-converter modules operates asynchronously without any communication with the other modules. The controller stabilizes the currents on the dq-axes and limits the flow of the pure-zero sequence current. It combines the space-vector modulation scheme with a variable-structure control, thereby keeping the switching frequency constant and achieving satisfactory dynamic performance.
