Controle discreto de fonte modular de corrente aplicada a magnetos de aceleradores de partículas

Abstract

This dissertation presents a proposal of a discrete-time state-feedback control law applied to the Sirius magnetic source power supply. In order to meet the magnets' required voltage and current levels the source is formed by series and parallel associa-tion of modular converters. Each module is made up of two stages, input and output, in which the later is addressed this work. The output stage is constituted by a full bridge converter associated with a third-order filter. Initially a mathematical model is obtained for a single module. This model is later extended to represent the connection of several modules in series. Then the plant is discretized and state feedback law is designed to control the system. The optimal technique Digital Linear Quadratic Regu-lator was used to place the closed-loop poles. However, when modules are associated, due the order of the system it becomes impracticable to measure all the states. Then an optimal reduced order observer is proposed to provide to controller the states that are not measured. An stability analysis is performed in order to verify the controller robustness. For the association of modules in parallel was considered that the output currents of each module are the parcels of the state corresponding to the current of the magnetic loads. Based on this premise and in the previously control design for the series modules association, is proposed a control topology for the parallel arrange-ment. Simulation results were obtained, for the both configuration of modules series and parallel, and the performances of the controller and state-observer were verified.
