INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVE HYBRID RECTIFIER CIRCUIT GENERATION EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS CONTROL STRATEGY APPLICATION CONCLUSION REFERENCES

The unidirectional hybrid three-phase rectifier is composed of the parallel association of a single switch three-phase boost rectifier with a PWM three phase unidirectional rectifier. The proposed structure allows to obtain a THD varying between 0 and 32%, just depending on the power processed by PWM three phase unidirectional rectifier

PARALLEL OPERATION

The first objective is to obtain a structure capable of providing sinusoidal input currents with low harmonic distortion and dc output voltage regulation. The main objective is to process the higher output power rating with the single switch three phase boost rectifier and the remaining with an active structure

Hybrid Rectifier denotes the series and/or parallel connection of a line commutated rectifier(passive rectifier) and a self commutated converter(active rectifier). Passive rectifier operates with low frequency and it handles the higher output power rating. Active rectifier operates with lower power ratings and with high switching frequency.

It combines the robustness and the efficiency of passive rectifier with the low harmonic production of the active rectifier.

The expressions (9) and (10) are very important to define the active power sharing between the two converters. If this relation is not satisfied, the input currents will be distorted. However, it is possible to meet the standards requirements configuring the hybrid rectifier to operate in a such way that the active rectifier is responsible to handle only 33% of the rated power.

In this case, the currents on the mains will present a small distortion, as depicted in Fig where the shaded areas denote the intervals were the relation is not satisfied.

Gains ratio should be quiet close to 0.552 for perfect sinusoidal currents. If the ratio is greater than 0.552 the imposed line currents will be distorted

A novel three-phase hybrid rectifier to high power applications was proposed. The fact that each rectifier is responsible to process about 50% of the output power allows improving the robustness and providing a high efficiency of the power converter The proposed structure allows to obtain a THD varying between 0 and 32%.
