| Abstract |
The paper presents the study of an active rectifier based on a voltage source converter. The system
characteristics are studied. The operational region and the factors affecting system efficiency are
presented and discussed. The control variables, the power angle and the modulation ratio of the PWM
power electronic converter, and their effects are investigated. The control strategies developed enable
the voltage source active rectifier to perform power control at a desired power factor with minimized
power loss while ac harmonics are reduced by using PWM switching. Simulation and experimental
results show good agreement. The results from this study can be used to design active rectifier
systems and to develop the associated control systems. |
