Generalized electronic controller for multi-pulse battery charging systems

This paper presents a generalized electronic controller suitable for multi-pulse battery charging for high power applications. The proposed controller is a generalized control scheme which can be used to develop a battery charging system for any pulse number such that two-pulse, six-pulse, twelve-pulse, eighteen-pulse and twenty four-pulse battery charging system. The two-pulse, six-pulse and twelve-pulse battery charging system has been implemented in the laboratory using the proposed generalized electronic controller. The test results of all these developed system are presented in this paper for validating the proposed scheme.
