PWM(pulse width modulation) rectifier has unit power factor and low harmonic distortion with high power conversion efficiency in entire loading range. These merits of PWM rectifier help the spread of DC distribution system. In addition, if multiple PWM rectifiers can be operated in parallel connection, maintenance process can be simple and reliability of power source can be advanced because of the hot swapping is available. The other way, the load unbalance among rectifiers can force a converter to stop by over current. The surge current by closed circuit composition between rectifiers can force switching devices damage. In this paper, some problems that can occur in case of parallel operation of PWM rectifiers and problem eliminating methods are considered.

In general, Diode rectifier has been applied to DC traction power supply system. Diode has some characteristics which is voltage drop in inverse proportion of load because of non-controlled switch, and cannot flow a current in reverse bias. So, voltage drop occurs frequently, and regenerated power cannot use in substation. The PWM rectifier is able to control output voltage constantly to reduce voltage drop and to use regeneration power without additional inverter. This paper proposes analysis algorithm for DC traction power supply system with PWM rectifier.

In this paper, analysis of operating characteristics of hybrid cascade multilevel PWM rectifier without bulky and heavy isolation transformers is presented. The multilevel PWM rectifier is analyzed by using the circuit DQ transformation whereby the static and dynamic characteristics and some useful design relationships are obtained. Then, the operating characteristics such as active/reactive power relationships with respect to control variables, DC voltages build up are presented. It will be shown that the DC voltages for the multilevel output generation may be directly built up from AC utility source. Finally, to confirm the validity of the analysis, MATLAB simulations are tarried out.

This paper proposes a novel current control method of three-phase PWM rectifiers using estimated currents without phase current sensors. The phase currents are reconstructed from switching states of the rectifier and the measured dc output currents. To eliminate the calculation time delay effect of the microprosessor, the current at the next sampling instant are predicted by a predictive state observer and then are used for feedback control. Experimental results show that the control performance of the proposed system is almost the same as that of the phase current sensor-based system.

Thyristor rectifiers are still the preferred choice for large magnet power supplies. However, large harmonic voltages, resulting in large current ripple, and slow dynamic response are major drawbacks of these converters. Joos presented a topology and a control technique for a hybrid large-power high-precision magnet power supply in 1996. The system consists of a phase controlled rectifier (PCR) connected in series with a high-frequency PWM converter. This paper improves the power circuit of the PWM converter using interphase transformer. Simulation result proves effect of the proposed system.

A high-performance PWM technique in current-controlled AC to DC converter is introduced. This converter used information about source voltage vectors to make good PWM switching pattern that it can control the DC output voltage with reduced ripple factor and rapid response. In addition to reduction of harmonic current, AC input power factor can be controlled to leading or lagging by current reference. Simulation was made based on analytical approach and it showed a good agreement with theory.

This paper proposes a unity power factor ZVT PWM single-phase rectifier. The ZVT soft switching are achieved by using a simple ZVT circuit, and the reduced conduction losses are achieved by employing a single-stage converter, instead of a typical double-stage converter composed of front end diode rectifier and cascaded boost rectifier. Furthermore, thanks to good features such as simple PWM control at constant frequency, low switch stress and low VAR rating of commutation circuits, it is suitable for high power applications. The principle of operation is explained in detail, and simulation results of the new converter are also included.

본 논문에서는 새로운 비대칭 PWM 제어 방식의 양방향 하프브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 구조가 간단하고 넓은 듀티 범위를 가지므로 연료전지와 같은 넓은 전압변동을 가지는 응용에 적합하다. 제안한 비대칭 PWM 방식은 기존의 위상각제어 방식에 비해 스위치 및 변압기의 동작전류를 큰 폭으로 낮추었고 ZVZCS와 동기정류 방식을 적용하여 높은 효율과 전력밀도를 가질 수 있다. 기존 컨버터와의 비교 분석을 수행하였으며 실험을 통해 본 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.
