 Abstract   This paper presents a novel robust control technique for PWM ac choppers with ability of generating high quality sinusoidal waveforms with adjustable amplitudes over a wide range control. For this purpose a deadbeat based digital controller has been developed to perform tight closed-loop control of the ac chopper. This controller is based on generalized predictive control (GPC) approach. A dedicated control algorithm has been developed and implemented. The proposed controller presents the advantages of allowing a very fast transient response and compensating effectively load disturbance and non-linear loads effects. Computer simulations are performed to investigate the proposed controller performance. The simulation results show that the designed controller has a good dynamic behaviour, a good rejection of impact load disturbance and is very robust. To evaluate the proposed approach an experimental prototype has been constructed. Experimental results under various loading conditions have demonstrated that the system performs well.
