Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aviation power technology, and more specifically, relates to an aviation power factor correction system and method based on multi-rate control. Background Technology
[0002] Aviation power factor correction systems are a key technology in modern more-electric and all-electric aircraft, designed to optimize power factor, reduce harmonic distortion, and improve energy efficiency to meet the high-quality power requirements of aviation power systems. Aviation electrical systems are characterized by high reliability, high power density, wide input voltage range, and high efficiency; however, nonlinear loads can lead to low power factor and harmonic pollution, affecting system stability and energy transfer efficiency. Therefore, aviation electrical systems urgently require a highly efficient and reliable power factor correction system.
[0003] Three-phase rectifiers, as front-end devices in multi-electric aviation power systems, convert three-phase AC power generated by generators into DC power, making them indispensable key electrical equipment in the system. Compared to three-phase boost rectifiers, three-phase buck rectifiers offer significant advantages such as lower starting current, wider output voltage range, and short-circuit current protection. Therefore, based on their high reliability, three-phase buck rectifiers are particularly suitable for multi-electric aviation. However, in aviation power applications, three-phase buck rectifiers need to operate at high switching frequencies to improve power density and reduce harmonic distortion. High switching frequencies result in extremely short sampling intervals, while longer sampling intervals require sufficient sampling and hold time for analog-to-digital conversion. Especially for three-phase buck rectifiers, digital signal filters need to be introduced during the analog-to-digital conversion stage to suppress electromagnetic interference noise caused by rapid switching speeds. In addition, besides the analog-to-digital conversion process, interruptions such as logic module interruptions, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, and main algorithm execution also significantly increase the computational burden of the sampling interval. Therefore, high sampling frequencies are not feasible in practical applications, and the sampling frequency becomes a key factor limiting the rectifier control frequency. How to complete the control algorithm within short interrupt intervals, ensure that interrupts do not overflow, and increase the control frequency or switching frequency at low sampling frequencies are urgent technical problems to be solved in the field of aviation power supplies.
[0004] Multi-rate technology effectively increases the system's control and switching frequencies by calculating multiple control inputs within a single sampling interrupt while ensuring sufficient sampling intervals. This significantly improves the control or switching frequency of a three-phase buck rectifier at low sampling frequencies. This strategy is particularly suitable for aerospace power supplies where chip computing power is limited.
[0005] Power factor correction (PFCD) systems are a key technology in modern more-electric and all-electric aircraft, aiming to optimize power factor, reduce harmonic distortion, and improve energy efficiency. Three-phase buck rectifiers, as core equipment in aviation power systems, require high switching frequencies to improve performance. However, high switching frequencies result in short sampling intervals and heavy computational burdens, limiting the increase in control frequency. Multi-rate technology, by calculating multiple control inputs within a single sampling interrupt, effectively improves the system's control and switching frequencies at low sampling frequencies, providing an efficient and reliable solution for aviation power applications. Therefore, the aviation power field urgently needs an aviation power factor correction system based on multi-rate control. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:
[0011] This invention relates to an aviation power factor correction system based on multi-rate control, comprising: a multi-rate control loop and a three-phase current-source rectifier; the three-phase voltage on the AC side of the three-phase current-source rectifier, the load voltage on the DC side, and the load current are connected to the multi-rate control loop as input and feedback signals for the control process; the multi-rate control loop uses an interrupt-nested multi-rate control strategy to interpolate the three-phase voltage output, and then calculates the fast-rate rectifier switching transistor drive signal, thereby increasing the switching frequency of the three-phase current-source rectifier without changing the sampling frequency, and also solving the aviation power system's need for a method to increase the control frequency under slow sampling frequency and a power factor correction system.
