Abstract
- This paper presents an improved analysis of a novel Programmable Power-factor-corrected-Based Hybrid Muitipulse Power Rectifier (PFC-HMPR) for utility interface of power electronic converters. The proposed hybrid multipuise rectifier is composed of an ordinary three-phase six-pulse diode-bridge rectifier (Graetz bridge) with a parallel connection of single-phase switched converters in each three-phase rectifier leg. In this paper, the authors present a complete discussion about the controlled rectifiers' power contribution and also a complete analysis concerning the total harmonic distortion of current that can be achieved when the proposed converter operates as a conventional 12-pulse rectifier. The mathematical analysis presented in this paper corroborate, with detailed equations, the experimental results of two 6-kW prototypes implemented in a laboratory. Index Terms--AC motor drives, high power drives for trolley-bus systems, high power factor three-phase rectifiers, multipulse rectifiers, tractions applications, 12-pulse rectifiers.
