Power Electronic Converters
for DC Drives
 To obtain variable voltage
 Efficient
 Ideally lossless
 Depending on voltage source:
 AC voltage source  Controlled Rectifiers
 Fixed DC voltage source
 DC-DC converters (switch mode
converters)

Controlled Rectifier Fed DC Drives
 To obtain variable DC voltage from fixed AC source
 DC current flows in only 1 direction
 Example of a drive system

Controlled Rectifier Fed DC Drives
 Contains low frequency AC ripple
 To reduce ripple: extra inductance added in series with La
 Slow response
 Discontinuous current may occur if
 La not large enough
 Motor is lightly loaded
 Half-wave rectifier is used
 Effect of discontinuous current
 Rectifier output voltage increases  motor speed increases
(poor speed regulation under open-loop operation)

DC – DC Converter Fed Drives
 To obtain variable DC voltage from fixed DC source
 Self-commutated devices preferred (MOSFETs, IGBTs,
GTOs) over thyristors
 Commutated by lower power control signal
 Commutation circuit not needed
 Can be switched at higher frequency for same rating
 Improved motor performance (less ripple, no discontinuous
currents, increased control bandwidth)
 Suitable for high performance applications
 Regenerative braking possible up to very low speeds even
when fed from fixed DC voltage source

Closed-loop Control
 Feedback loops may be provided to satisfy one or more of the
following:
 Protection
 Enhancement of speed response
 Improve steady-state accuracy
 Variables to be controlled in drives:
 Torque – achieved by controlling current
 Speed
 Position
 Controllers are designed based on a linear averaged model

Dr. Ungku Anisa, July 2008 EEEB283 - Electrical Machines & Drives 30
Closed-loop Control
 Variables to be controlled in drives:
 Torque – achieved by controlling current
 Commonly employed current sensor:
Current shunt – no electrical isolation, cheap

 Hall effect sensor – provides electrical isolation
d
 Speed is governed by torque: Te  TL  J

Dr. Ungku Anisa, July 2008 EEEB283 - Electrical Machines & Drives 31
Closed-loop Control
 Variables to be controlled in drives:
 Speed – with or without current loop
 Commonly employed speed/position sensor:
 Tachogenerator – analog based
 Digital encoder – digital based, converts speed to pulses
 Torque is governed by speed demand:
 Without current loop: no limit on current – can be too high
 With current loop: current can be limited

Dr. Ungku Anisa, July 2008 EEEB283 - Electrical Machines & Drives 32
Closed-loop Control
 Variables to be controlled in drives:
 Speed control without current loop:
 Simple implementation
 Current can be too high  may damage converter
