Nonlinear partial state feedback controller for a single phase active rectifier

This paper presents a partial state feedback controller for an active rectifier to regulate dc output voltage and to guarantee a power factor close to unity. The partial information controller is based on the Exact Tracking Error Dynamics Passive Output Feedback (ETDPOF) technique in conjunction with an Immersion and Invariance based inductor current observer. Numerical simulations are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed control scheme.
