Abstract
In a single-phase charging system of electric vehicles, the current control performance of the single-phase ac–dc factor correction (PFC) converter with a deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) method is affected by the distorted grid voltage, parameter dependence, and control delay. To tackle these problems, a modified DPCC method is proposed in this article. By introducing a phase adjustment parameter <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">θ</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> , which can be directly calculated according to the required power factor, into the grid voltage feedforward of the current loop, an improved input current control performance with lower harmonic components and higher power factor can be achieved when the converter operates at unity power factor. At the same time, compared with the traditional method, a reactive power compensation function is added in the modified DPCC and a deadtime compensation method is adopted in the modulation. Finally, a 7.8-kW single-phase PFC converter prototype is built to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control method.
