Abstract

This paper presents the design of a controller for a single-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier, which exhibits nonlinear behavior due to the switching characteristics of PWM during AC-to-DC conversion. The controller is developed using the Port-Hamiltonian framework, enabling the design of a state feedback control strategy that employs all system state variables as feedback inputs. This approach ensures high system stability and a fast dynamic response under varying operating conditions. Simulation results confirm that the proposed controller successfully converts a \( \mathbf{3 1 5 ~ V} \) peak, \( \mathbf{5 0} \) Hz AC input into a stable 800 V DC output. Additionally, under sudden load disturbances, the controller effectively regulates and maintains a steady DC output voltage, demonstrating robust performance and resilience.
