Modeling and Simulation of the Single-Phase Unity Power Factor Active Rectifier for Minimizing the Input Current Harmonic Distortions

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of topology of single-phase AC-DC active rectifier having power factor correction (PFC). This converter topology is evaluated on the basis of performance and its salient features are discussed to analyze its applicability. The technique not only helps to develop a deeper understanding of this converter but also to evaluate performance and feasibility of control strategy and topological features without fabrication of an actual system. This paper also describes technique for minimizing the input current distortion of current-controlled single-phase boost rectifier.
