Current Waveform Control of High-Power-Factor Rectifier Circuit for Harmonic Suppression of Voltage and Current in Distribution System

Abstract

This paper presents the input current waveform control of the rectifier circuit which realizes simultaneously the high input power factor and the harmonics suppression of the receiving end voltage and the source current under the distorted receiving end voltage. The proposed input current waveform includes the harmonic components which are in phase with the receiving end voltage harmonics. The control parameter in the proposed waveform is designed by examining the characteristics of both the harmonic suppression effect in the distribution system and the input power factor of the rectifier circuit. The effectiveness of the proposed current waveform has been confirmed by experiments.
