Simplified Control Structure for Current Control of Single Phase Rectifiers Using COT-ANN-PWM

Abstract

This paper describes a single phase switched rectifier for current control using model reference adaptive control (MRAC) with a continually on-line trained artificial neural network (COT-ANN). The results obtained with the proposed scheme are similar to the ones obtained in a previous work but using a simpler control structure. Simulations are used to test the validity of the proposed algorithm and the results are later verified by a practical implementation of this system.
