نویسندگان
چکیده
-In this paper, comparative evaluation of different techniques for harmonic reduction in input current of ac-dc converter is presented. Converters employing ac side switching, resonant converter, active clamped boost converter are simulated in PSIM and their performance under varying load condition with load voltage regulation is evaluated. The results revealed that active clamped boost converter topology has better performance among the cases under study.

Analysis and Implementation of Multi Pulse Converters for HVDC System
It is well known that undesirable harmonic line currents may be generated during a transformer-rectifier combination. The rectification of AC power to DC power itself may in general produce undesirable current harmonics. These non-linear loads cause severe current harmonics that may not be tolerated by either a shutdown of the device or unacceptable powering of the devices. The great majority o...

متن کاملA Single Transistor Three Phase Resonant Switch for High Quality Rectification
Existing 34, ac-dc low-harmonic rectiifiers are costly and require complex control schemes to minimize input current harmonics. Introduced here are three new classes of low cost 34, acdc high power factorllow harmonic controlled rectifiers. These are derived from parent dc-dc convrter topologies containing boost-type inputs, buck-type inputs and qwsi resonant zero-current-switch (ZCS) buck-type...
