ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A HYBRID HIGHPOWER-FACTOR THREE-PHASE UNIDIRECTIONAL

RECTIFIER
ABSTRACT
The objective is to obtain a structure capable of providing sinusoidal
input currents with low harmonic distortion and dc output voltage regulation.
The diode rectifier operates at low frequency and has a higher output power
rating. Therefore, the PWM unidirectional rectifier is designed to operate with
a small power rating and at a high switching frequency. The total harmonic
distortion of the proposed structure varies between 0% and 32%, depending
only on the amount of power processed by the PWM three-phase
unidirectional rectifier.

EXISTING SYSTEM
New single-switch three-phase high power factor rectifiers are introduced which have
continuous input and output currents. By the use of a multi-resonant scheme, the transistor
operates with zero current switching and the diodes operate with zero voltage switching. These
multi-resonant rectifiers with a single transistor are capable of drawing a higher quality input
current waveform at nearly unity power factor and lower stress than the quasi-resonant rectifiers.
Buck-type converters are used for the power stage, and hence the output voltage is lower than the
input voltage. Moreover, these rectifiers have a wide load range and low stress on semiconductor
devices.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEMS

Draw non sinusoidal currents or reactive power from the source, which deteriorate the
power quality.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this project the total output power of the hybrid converter is processed largely by the
uncontrolled rectifier operating at low frequency while the PWM controlled rectifier, operating at
high frequency, only processes about 45% of the power. The rectifier is composed of a single-

switch diode bridge boost-type rectifier in parallel with a pulse width modulation (PWM) threephase unidirectional boost rectifier.
