Frequency criterion for stability «as a whole» of modulation-type pulse voltage converters according to Lyapunov

Abstract

Background. The use of methods for researching and designing stable nonlinear dynamic systems by constructing the frequency characteristics of the loop gain of the negative feedback of a pulsed voltage converter through time characteristics obtained by numerical methods for solving nonlinear differential equations that describe electromagnetic processes in the converter takes a lot of time and has low accuracy in calculating optimal modes, when you need to calculate hundreds of options. Aim. Therefore, it seems necessary to further develop the theory of stability of modulation-type pulse voltage converters using frequency stability criteria, Lyapunov functions, amplitude and phase frequency characteristics of the converter loop gain. Methods. Stability in the «small» is solved using linearized models, which are constructed using the so-called first Lyapunov method - the «first approximation» method. The second method for studying the stability of nonlinear dynamic systems is the harmonic linearization method, when the nonlinear element is replaced by a harmonically linearized link with a transmission coefficient only for the first harmonic. Results. The Lyapunov function for a pulse voltage converter with nonlinear relay-type elements was found. Conclusion. The results obtained in the work make it possible to simplify the design of Lyapunov-stable pulse voltage converters through the use of the method of amplitude-frequency characteristics used for stationary linear systems.
