Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a three-phase buck type unity power factor rectifier used for distribution systems. The AC-DC converter topology considered in this paper is named as SWISS rectifier, consists of front-end three-phase diode bridge rectifier with active current injection circuit and back-end DC-DC buck converter. The characteristics of the AC-DC converter topology, including the principle of operation, modulation schemes, conduction state analysis, and control strategy are discussed in detail. Further, the analytical expression for the loss calculation is performed. Extensive simulation is carried out for the converter system, and the practicability of the converter system is verified by conducting a test on the constructed hardware prototype. © 2020 IEEE.
