 LITERATURE REVIEW:

• With the continuous research and development in the field of semiconductor

and power electronics ,design and circuit improvements have been made for
superior performance, be it by the use of PWM,VSR etc.
• With increasing use of electrical equipments, power converter manufacturers
have implemented a form of PFC- power factor correction according to the
harmonic standards of IEC 1000-3-2. The power converters have high power
factor and low input current harmonics as its performance criteria.
• In 2004 Garcia-Gil, R., Espi , J.M., Sanchis-Kilders, E., Ejea, J.B. proposed
a converter consisting of a bi-directional three phase to one phase
cycloconverter or reduced matrix converter and a bi-directional active
rectifier.
 DEFINING THE PROBLEM:

• Because of increasing applications of power electronic ac-dc converters, it's

necessary to implement the single stage converter that can reliably perform
both buck and boost operations.
• Traditionally, this can be achieved by double stage conversion (ac/dc-
dc/dc) but ultimately leading to less efficiency and complex control.
• Solid-state switch-mode rectification converters have reached a matured
level for improving power quality in terms of power-factor correction
(PFC), reduced total harmonic distortion at input ac mains and precisely
regulated dc output in buck, boost, buck-boost and multilevel modes with
unidirectional and bidirectional power flow.
 INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVE RECTIFIERS:

• AC-DC converters are popularly called as rectifiers and these classical

rectifiers are developed using diodes/thyristors.
• Due to the involvement of uni-directional line commutated devices (such as
diodes and thyristors), these classical rectifiers are either uncontrollable or
partially controllable and, suffers with poor regeneration capability.
• The switching of these low frequency converters (line-commutated) raises
problems such as poor power quality (in terms of injected current
harmonics), distorts power factor at source terminals, poor dynamic
response, poor output voltage regulation, output voltage ripple.
• Rectifiers with self-commutated devices are called with a generic name of
PFC (power factor corrector), as their switching operation is controlled
such that output voltage is regulated ensuring unity power factor at source
terminals.
• PFC with regeneration capability is called as active rectifier (or) active
front end converter (AFE).
• In other words , rectifier which can actively control the current shape
ensuring source unity power factor , load voltage regulation and
regeneration capability is called as active rectifier.
• Thus , referring to the significance of AFE , a three phase voltage source
rectifier with current control PWM for battery charging application is
investigated in our work.
• Further , the regeneration ability and dynamic response of the converter are
demonstrated on MATLAB environment.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE OF VOLTAGE SOURCE
RECTIFIER(VSR):
• It is well known that voltage-source inverters (VSIs), can reverse the power flow from the
load to the dc link, as a rectifier, that means, as a VSR. However, a stand-alone VSR requires
a special dc bus able to keep a voltage without the requirement of a voltage supply. This is
accomplished with a dc capacitor and a feedback control loop.
• The basic operation principle of VSR consists on keeping the load dc-link voltage at a desired
reference value, using a feedback control loop . This reference value has to be high enough to
keep the diodes of the converter blocked. Once this condition is satisfied, the dc-link voltage
is measured and compared with the reference .The error signal generated from this
comparison is used to switch ON and OFF the valves of the VSR.
• In this way, power can come or return to the ac source according with the dc-link voltage
value.
• When the dc load current Io is positive (rectifier operation), the capacitor is being discharged,
and the error signal becomes positive. Under this condition, the Control Block takes power
from the supply by generating the appropriate PWM signals for the power transistor switches
of the VSR. In this way, current flows from the ac to the dc side, and the capacitor voltage is
recovered.
• Inversely, when becomes negative (inverter operation), the capacitor is overcharged, and the
error signal asks the control to discharge the capacitor returning power to the ac mains.

 ADVANTAGES:

• IPQC technology has developed to a mature level and is employed in

widespread applications in fraction of kilowatt to megawatt converter systems
such as UPSs, ac–dc–ac links, BESSs, ASDs, etc.
• The new trends are improved control algorithms and soft-switching techniques
to reduce switching losses in IPQCs even at high switching frequency, to
enhance the dynamic response, and to reduce the size of energy storage
elements (filters at input and output, high-frequency transformers).
 APPLICATIONS:

• However for applications, where power is required transmit from the DC side (load)
to AC main i.e., where energy flow can be reversed such as locomotives, downhill,
conveyors and cranes.
