Investigation of Nonlinear PI Multi-loop Control Strategy for Aircraft HVDC Generator System with Wound Rotor Synchronous Machine

Abstract

In order to enhance the transient performance of aircraft high voltage DC (HVDC) generation system with wound rotor synchronous machine (WRSM) under a wide speed range, the nonlinear PI multi-loop control strategy is proposed in this paper. Traditional voltage control method is hard to achieve the dynamic performance requirements of the HVDC generation system under a wide speed range, so the nonlinear PI parameter adjustment, load current feedback and speed feedback are added to the voltage and excitation current double loop control. The transfer function of the HVDC generation system is derived, and the relationship between speed, load current and PI parameters is obtained. The PI parameters corresponding to the load at certain speed are used to shorten the adjusting time when the load suddenly changes. The dynamic responses in transient processes are analyzed by experiment. The results illustrate that the WRSM HVDC generator system with this method has better dynamic performance.
