Active power compensation method for single-phase current source rectifier without extra active switches

The existing active power decoupling methods for single-phase current source rectifiers (SCSRs) usually involve a lot of additional semiconductor devices or energy storage units, which is adverse to cost and efficiency. This study proposes an active power decoupling method to buffer the double-frequency ripple power. The main circuit is configured by adding only a decoupling capacitor and a diode to the traditional SCSR. Compared with the existing ones, the added components are minimised. The operating principle and modulation scheme are described. A closed-loop control method is developed to enhance twice the line frequency ripple power compensation performance. The guide for the selection of the decoupling capacitance is also discussed. Simulations and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.
