Abstract

The traction drive system without industrial frequency transformer is the trend and effective lightweight solution of high-speed train in the future. Cascade H-bridge rectifier has become the preferred solution for the front end of this technology due to its modular structure and simple control. In this paper, the working principle of single-phase cascaded H-bridge rectifier is analyzed, and an improved transient direct current control method without phase-locked loop (PLL) is proposed. The command current signal is calculated by the relation of instantaneous power to voltage and current in the two-phase stationary coordinate system to realize the tracking control of the grid current to the voltage. On this basis, aiming at the DC-link voltage imbalance caused by unbalanced loads, a voltage balancing control method without PLL is proposed. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
