A unity power factor current-regulated SPWM rectifier with a notch feedback for stabilization and active filtering

A stand-alone, unity power factor, current-regulated sinusoidal pulsewidth modulated (SPWM) rectifier is described. The topology is based on the series connection of three four-valve single-phase bridges, which allows the conventional two-stage logic SPWM strategy to be used without interphase interference. The problems of stability and low harmonic waveform distortion are identified. Solutions are found by using a simple local notch filter feedback circuit that fulfils the dual function of stabilizing and active filtering. From the clarification given by this more expensive but less constrained topology, the stage is set for the next step in incorporating the lessons learned to the more economical topology based on the six-valve, three phase parallel bridge, which requires a tristate logic for PWM control when operating in the current-source configuration. >
