  • Patent number: 11368091
    Abstract: A method controls a boost converter having N switching cells using synchronous pulse width modulation, in which N is a natural integer that does not equal zero. The method includes: measuring input voltages and output voltages of the boost converter; determining an output vector to define a representation of a linear state of the boost converter; calculating the variation in power of the electrical load; determining the N duty factors as a function of the second derivative of the output vector, the derivative of the power of the electrical load, and the ratio between the input voltage and the output voltage that have been measured; and controlling each switching cell of the converter depending on the duty factor that has been determined.

  • Patent number: 10819223
    Abstract: A method for controlling a three-phase Vienna rectifier, including a plurality of controlled power switches, each associated with an electrical phase; the method including: transforming three provided reference line voltages into three phase voltages; calculating a homopolar component to be injected according to the sign of the phase voltage values and to the average value of the phase currents of the three-phase Vienna rectifier; calculating “modulating” values for each phase of the three-phase Vienna rectifier according to the calculated homopolar component to be injected and the three phase voltages; and generating six signals for switching the controlled power switches, according to the sign of the phase currents of the three-phase Vienna rectifier and the “modulating” values that were calculated.
