Incremental SVM of controlled full-bridge rectifiers to allow IEC 61000-3-2 enforcement in power grid connection of modern elevator systems

The purpose of this paper is the study of different power converters and control techniques to allow power grid connection of modern vertical operation systems, verifying IEC 61000-3-2. We focus on the harmonic current analysis produced by the industrial standard AC/DC/3-phase AC machines system. Different AC/DC converters and control techniques have been compared to determine the one that minimizes low frequency harmonic current production. An incremental space vector modulator to regulate power grid current flow in electrical reference frame with a full-bridge controlled rectifier has been proven as the best power grid connection system. A general purpose test rig has been designed to evaluate the different power grid interface policies. Experimental results have been provided to show the effectiveness of the method.
