No: Performance Parameter of Controlled Rectifiers

Date:
Aim:
To Calculate the various performance parameters of Half wave controlled and full wave controlled
rectifier using Matlab software.

Apparatus Required:
1. PC with Pentium processor
2. MATLAB software

Theory:
The input voltage to rectifier is usually sinusoidal. It is desired that the output voltage from a
rectifier should be constant with no ripples in it. This, however, is not the case. This shows that the rectifier
output voltage is made up of constant dc voltage pulse harmonic components. The waveforms of input and
output currents depends on the nature of load and the rectifier configuration. In order to evaluate the
overall performance of rectifier-load combinations. Certain performance parameters
In general, the instantaneous input current to a converter can be expressed in Fourier series as
∝
i(t)=a0 + ∑ (an cosn ωt +bn sin nω t)
n=1,2,3,4

where
2π

a0 = 1/2∫ i ( t ) d (ω t)
0

2π

an = 1/∫ i ( t ) cosn ω t d (ω t)
0

2π

bn = 1/∫ i ( t ) sin n ω t d (ω t )
0

Input Power Factor:

The input power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of Mean input power to the total rms input
voltamperes given to the converter system.
P.F. = Real Power/A1pparent Power = Vs.Is1 cos(phi)
P.F. = Is1/Is cos(phi)
Where
Is1 = rms value of fundamental component of supply current Is

Displacement Power Factor:

It is defined as the cosine of the input displacement angle.
Phi = Phase angle between supply voltage Vs and fundamental component Is1 of supply current Is
Distortion Factor:
Distortion factor is defined as the ratio of the rms value of fundamental component-Is 1 of the
input current to the rms value of input current Is.
DF = Is1/Is

Active Power Input:

P = rms value of source voltage*fundamental component of supply current*displacement factor

P = 2Vm/ Idc cos(phi).

Reactive Power Input:

Qi = rms value of source voltage*fundamental component of supply current*displacement factor.

Qi = 2Vm/ Idc sin.

Apparent Power:
It is given by source voltage* source current.
S = Vs * Is

Procedure:
1. Open MATLAB software.
2. File – New Model.
3. Type the program, Made the assumption like firing angle, source voltage etc
4. Simulate the program.
5. Note the readings for various parameters.
