Hi,

I am trying to tune the cascaded PI controller for 3.3kW  PFC.  The cascaded PI controller has outer voltage Loop and a inner current loop. How  should I approach to choose the correct  Kp , Ki values for both Loops for  different load current and for Input RMS voltage  of 200 to 250v.

CASCADED PI CONTROLLER LOOP

Hello @Rakesh_rp 

Thanks for posting your question in Infineon community.

The Kp,Ki calculation explained in the below steps 

Step:1 Model your system(converter and controller) and write equations in Continuous Domain(S-domain) and convert in Discrete Domain(Z-Domain).

Step:2 add if any delay is presented in the system and write an open-loop transfer function.

Step:3 Plot Bode plots (Magnitude and Phase Plot) and check the system stability. The stability can check by using the Phase margin.

Step-4 Kindly maintain a phase margin of 45 deg and accordingly tune your Kp and Ki Values.

Step-5 Try to model your outer voltage loop separately and your inner loop separately.

Note: Outer loop should be slower than the inner loop accordingly inner loop Kp, Ki should be selected 

Thank you

Guru
