AC - AC Converter 1

Closed Loop Control of DC Drives

• Cascade control structure
– Flexible – outer loops can be added/removed depending on
control requirements.
– Control variable of inner loop (eg: speed, torque) can be limited
by limiting its reference value
– Torque loop is fastest, speed loop – slower and position loop -
slowest

 Closed Loop Control of DC Drives
• Cascade control structure:
– Inner Torque (Current) Control Loop:
• Maintains current within a safe limit
• Accelerates and decelerates the drive at maximum
permissible current and torque during transient Torque
(Current)
operations

Closed Loop Control of DC Drives

• Cascade control structure
– Speed Control Loop:
• Ensures that the actual speed is always equal to reference speed
*
• Provides fast response to changes in *, TL and supply voltage
(i.e. any transients are overcome within the shortest feasible time)
without exceeding motor and converter capability
