IEEE Transactions On Power Electronics, 37(2), 1283-1295. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TPEL.2021.3103766 | Journal: | IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics | Abstract: | The Vienna rectifier can produce three voltage levels, however only the connection to the neutral-point is fully controllable using the bidirectional switches. When the neutral-point voltage is not imposed in a phase-leg, the polarity of the pulses generated depends on the diode that is conducting in that phase-leg, which is defined by the current direction. As a result, the voltage pulses generated can go in the opposite direction to what is demanded by the controller, and the current becomes distorted. This can be mitigated by injecting a particular zero sequence so that the reference voltage is clamped to the neutral-point during the intervals where the current of a phase leg has the opposite sign than its reference voltage. However, the converter is at risk of entering into overmodulation when operating with high modulation indices. In this paper, a hybrid modulation strategy is introduced where a calculated minimal amount of reactive current depending on the operating conditions is injected to avoid overmodulation. The reduction of reactive current required compared to the state-of-the-art solutions is up to 100% in certain operating conditions. With the proposed method, the Vienna rectifier can operate in a wide range of power factors without compromising the quality of the source currents. The concept is verified by simulation and in a 1-kW Vienna rectifier experimental setup. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/152981 | ISSN: | 0885-8993 | DOI: | 10.1109/TPEL.2021.3103766 | Schools: | School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering | Research Centres: | Rolls-Royce@NTU Corporate Lab | Rights: | © 2021 IEEE.
