Abstract
A novel topology generation method for the no dead-time three-phase AC/DC converter is proposed in this study. With this method, a series of no dead time topologies are generated and their operation principles are analyzed. The classic three-phase bridge AC/DC converter can realize a bidirectional operation. However, dead-time should be inserted in the driving signals to avoid the shoot-through problem, which would cause additional harmonics. Compared with the bridge topology, the proposed topologies lack the shoot-through problem. Thus, dead time can be avoided. All of the no dead time three-phase AC/DC converters can realize bidirectional operation. The operating principles of the converters are analyzed in detail, and the corresponding control strategies are discussed. Comparisons of waveform distortion and efficiency among the converters are provided. Finally, 9 KW DSP-based principle prototypes are established and tested. Simulation and experimental results verify the theoretical analysis.
