Parallel AC-DC single-phase asymmetrical boost rectifiers

In this paper, three unidirectional single-phase rectifiers are proposed. Each converter is composed of two non-controlled legs and two controlled legs. Modelling and control strategy of the system, including a synchronization method, are proposed. In the synchronization method, the grid current is synchronized with the generated voltage ensuring a sinusoidal grid current without zero-crossover distortions. Analysis of harmonic distortion and semiconductor losses are presented. Simulation and experimental results are shown for validation purposes.
