Respect to the input AC voltage and output DC voltage, conventional three-phase PWM rectifier is classified as the voltage type rectifier with boost capability and the current type rectifier voltage with buck capability. Conventional PWM rectifier can not at the same time the boost and buck capability and its bridge is weak in the shoot- through state. These problems can be solved by Z-source PWM rectifier which has all characteristic of voltage and current type PWM rectifier. By shoot-through duty ratio control, the Z-source PWM rectifier can buck and boost at the same time, also, there is no need to consider the dead time. This paper proposes the input AC voltage sensorless control method of a three-phase Z-source PWM rectifier in order to accomplish the unity input power factor and output DC voltage control. The proposed method is estimated the input AC voltage by using input AC current and output DC voltage, hence, the sensor for the input AC voltage detection is no needed. comparison of the estimated and detected input AC voltage, estimated phase angle of the input voltage, the output DC voltage response for reference value, unity power factor, FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) of the estimated voltage and efficiency are verified by PSIM simulation.

This paper presents a prototype of three-phase current source zero voltage soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier with Single Active Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Snubber (ARCS) circuit topology. The proposed three-phase PFC rectifier with sinewave current shaping and unity power factor scheme can operate under a condition of Zero Voltage Soft Switching (ZVS) in the main three phase rectifier circuit and zero current soft switching (ZCS) in auxiliary snubber circuits. The operating principle and steady-state performances of the proposed three-phase current source soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier controlled by the DSP control implementation are evaluated and discussed on the basis of the experimental results of this active rectifier setup.

This paper describes a fuzzy control method to control the output voltage of the three-phase Z-source PWM rectifier. A fuzzy control system is a control system based on fuzzy logic, and the fuzzy controller uses a single input fuzzy theory with its fuzzification. Analytical structure of the simplest fuzzy controller is derived through the triangular membership functions with its fuzzification. By setting the membership functions of the fuzzy rules, fuzzy control is achieved. The PI portion of the output DC voltage controller is controlled by fuzzy method. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, the simulation and experiment were performed, The simulation is performed with PSIM and MATLAB/SIMULINK. For the experiment, we used a DSP(TMS320F28335) controller to compute the reference value and generate the PWM pulses. For the transient state performance of the output DC voltage control of Z-source PWM rectifier, the PI controller and fuzzy controller were compared, also the conventional PWM rectifier and Z-source PWM rectifier were compared. From the results, the Z-source rectifier could allow to buck or boost of the output DC voltage. Through the analysis of the transient state, we could observe that the fuzzy controller has better performance than the conventional PI controller.

A new capacitor-input type voltage source rectifier is proposed in this paper. The proposed rectifier is based upon 6-pulse diode rectifier with the addition of an auxiliary circuit. By proper operation of the switches of the auxiliary circuit, the input voltage waveform has 18-pulse characteristics and the input current becomes almost sinusoidal due to input ac reactors. The operating principle along with current analysis and input voltage waveform synthesis is described. The experimental results from a laboratory prototype verify the proposed concept.

In case of design of a rectifier to supply high current, To select switching frequency of semiconductor switches affect absolutely the design of the LC filter value in an power conversion circuit. The conventional rectifier by using MOSFET is no use in high current equipments because of small drain-source current. To solve this problem, this paper proposes to design of high capacity rectifier by parallel driving of MOSFET in the single half bridge DC-DC converter. This method can be able to develop high current rectifier by distributed drain-source current. The proposed scheme is able to expect a decrease in size, weight and cost of production by decreasing the LC filter value and increasing maximumly the switching frequency. The validity of the proposed parallel driving strategy is verified through computer-aided simulations and experimental results.

With the rapid development of DC high voltage accelerator, higher requirements have been raised for the design of DC high voltage power supply, requiring more stable high voltage with lower output ripple. Therefore, it also puts forward higher requirements for the parameter design of the voltage doubling rectifier circuit, which is the core component of the DC high voltage power supply. In order to obtain output voltage with better performance, the effects of the working frequency, the stage capacitance and the load resistance on the output voltage of the voltage doubling rectifier circuit are studied in detail by simulation. It can be concluded that the higher the working frequency of the transformer, the larger the stage capacitance, the larger the load resistance and the better the output voltage performance in a certain range. Based on this, a 2.5 MV voltage doubling rectifier circuit driven by a 120 kHz frequency transformer is designed, developed and tested for the power supply of the neutron source device towards BNCT. Experimental results show that this voltage doubling rectifier circuit can satisfy the design requirements, laying a certain foundation for the engineering design of DC high voltage power supply of neutron source device.

In this paper, the four switches three-phase Z-source rectifier is studied. The conventional three-phase four switches rectifier can only either perform buck or boost operation, distortion and unbalance of the input current are serious. Therefore, we proposed the four switches three-phase Z-source rectifier which can realize buck function simply by applying the Z-impedance network. We will verify characteristics of Z-network by the simulation and experiment.
