This paper presents an analysis of a predictive control and its digital implementation on a high voltage, ultrasonic resonant frequency (20 kHz) direct power converter (DPC). An analysis on the input current ripple is presented and a new approach for the input current prediction is proposed to enable the practical implementation of the control technique. Results from a simulation study and from a prototype converter are presented. Good correlation between simulation and experimental results measured on a prototype are shown, confirming the feasibility of the control approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
