Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019115701A1] An electrical converter (10) comprises at least two phase branches (12A, 12B, 12C, 12N), each phase branch comprising at least two half-bridges (16), which are connected in parallel to a DC link (14) and which are connected via midpoints (18) for providing a phase output (A, B, C, N) for the phase branch. A method for controlling an electrical converter (10) comprises: determining setpoint phase signals (Vi,ABC*) for the phase branches from actual phase voltages (VABC 0) and actual phase currents (iL,ABC 0), which are determined from measurements, and from reference phase voltages (Vdq0*) for the phase branches (12A, 12B, 12C, 12N); determining a phase duty cycle (dA, dB, dc, dN) for each phase branch (12A, 12B, 12C, 12N) from the setpoint phase signals (Vi,ABC*); determining a half-bridge duty cycle (dAj, dbj, dcj, dNj) for each half-bridge (16) by adding a duty cycle correction (ΔdAj, ΔdBj, ΔdCj, ΔdNj) for the half-bridge (16) to the phase duty cycle (dA, dB, dC, dN) for the phase branch (12A, 12B, 12C, 12N) to which the half-bridge (16) belongs, wherein the duty cycle correction is determined from actual half- bridge output currents (iL,Aj 0, iL,Bj 0, iL,Cj 0, iL,Nj 0) of the half-bridges (16) of the phase branch, which actual half-bridge output currents (iL,Aj 0, iL,Bj0, iL,Cj 0, iL,Nj 0) are determined from measurements.
