摘要
This paper presents an improved approach to obtaining good zero voltage crossing signals. These signals are subsequently used as synchronization signals for a phase controlled thyristor power converter. Detection of accurate zero crossings are possible even under the following conditions: large frequency changes, sudden load changes, and large commutation overlap angles. The improved accuracy in the integrity of the zero crossing is obtained by reconstructing a voltage representing the ac source voltage . This voltage is determined from the distorted thyristor converter input voltage, the converter input current, and an online identification of the source impedance using a microcontroller-based adaptive algorithm. The improvement provided by the new zero crossing detection scheme is verified experimentally.
