Improved Bipolar Coordinate Control Strategy for 400 Hz Inverter in Aviation Ground Power Supply

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents an enhanced bipolar control strategy for 400 Hz three-phase inverters in aviation ground power supplies, with a focus on maintaining symmetry in power output under unbalanced load conditions. The strategy integrates Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC) for robust positive sequence voltage regulation, Proportional Integral with repetitive control (PI + RC) for harmonic suppression in positive sequence currents, and a Quasi-Proportional Resonance (QPR) controller for negative sequence components in the static coordinate system. By doing so, it simplifies negative sequence control and combines PI + RC to improve the dynamic response and eliminate periodic errors. In the context of symmetry, the proposed strategy effectively reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the three-phase current imbalance degree. Simulation results show significant improvements: under balanced loads, THD is reduced by 41.5% (from 1.95% to 1.14%) compared to traditional PI control; under single-phase and three-phase unbalanced loads, THD decreases by 52.7% (2.56% to 1.21%) and 48.1% (2.39% to 1.24%), respectively. The system’s settling time during load transients is shortened by over 30%, and the three-phase current imbalance degree is reduced by 60–70%, which validates the strategy’s effectiveness in enhancing power quality and system stability, thus restoring and maintaining the symmetry of the power output.
