Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Rectifiers offer a promising and high end performance for the ac to dc conversion needs of the industry, customer and power grid sectors. This paper presents a reduced switching loss algorithm applied to a hysteresis current controlled PWM rectifier. This acts as an ac to dc boost converter with near unity power factor at the grid side along with regulated and ripple...

Dc-dc power converters are employed in a variety of applications, including power supplies for personal computers, office equipment, spacecraft power systems, laptop computers, and telecommunications equipment, as well as dc motor drives. The input to a dc-dc converter is an unregulated dc voltage Vg. The converter produces a regulated output voltage V, having a magnitude (and possibly polarity...

This paper presents the comparative analysis of improved quality three phase AC/DC boost converters, using SIMULINK. Comparison of three phase controlled single switch and six switch AC/DC boost converters have been done to identify the boost converter with low cost/small size/high efficiency for three phase system. Three phase AC/DC boost converters with improved quality in terms of power fact...

Under unbalanced supply condition low order harmonics will appear at the input and output terminals of the PWM AC to DC converter. Based on the positive and negative sequence components, an unbalanced transfer matrix in terms of the input phase voltages is derived. An on-line method using a neural network (NN) is used to implement this transfer matrix. It is shown that by using an additional lo...

Modern simulation tools can help to find the optimal power electronic concept for a special field of application. So it is much more easy to find an optimal solution for a current problem. In case of a low voltage (12-24V) solar inverters it can be shown, that the presented multiphase system give us the possibility to increase the over all efficiency significantly. Here, the input DC-to-DC conv...

— This paper proposes a new control scheme for regulating the instantaneous power for pwm boost type rectifiers under generalized unbalanced operating conditions. By nullifying the oscillating components of instantaneous power at the poles of the converter instead of the front-end through solving a set of nonlinear control equations in real time, the harmonics in the output dc voltage can be el...

With the development of power conversion technology, power density becomes the major challenge for front-end AC/DC converters. Although increasing switching frequency can dramatically reduce the passive component size, its effectiveness is limited by the converter efficiency and thermal management. In present industry implementations, due to the low efficiency PWM type topologies, DC/DC stage s...

A novel online capacitance estimation method for a DC-link capacitor in a three-phase AC/DC/AC PWM converter is prepared. At no load, a controlled AC current with a lower frequency than the line frequency is injected into the input side, which then causes AC voltage ripples at the DC output side. By extracting the AC voltage and current components on the DC output side using digital filters, th...

In our paper, a method of using hybrid converter has been implemented. In the existing system, two stage approaches has been used. This two stage approach is both dc –dc converter and dc – ac Converter. This type of converters mentioned above has been used in the earlier stages, but the drawbacks that can be seen is increased cost and complexity. The proposed method mainly uses boost derived hy...
