INTRODUCTION

A low harmonic converter.

The inner loop is a current regulator
The outer loop is a voltage regulator
RECTIFIER

Converts AC-DC (Grid- DC load or controlled AC)

Low harmonics
RECTIFIER MODEL

vo = F1 . vi - F2 . vi
With:
F1 = 1 if vi > 0 and F1 = 0 if vi < 0
F2 = 0 if vi > 0 and F2 = 1 if vi < 0
BOOST CONVERTER

Step up the voltage

THE RESULTS

At t= 0.52 second, a step change in the load, the load increases

THE RESULTS

At t= 0.52 second, a step change in the load, the load increases

 THE RESULTS

At t=0.56 second, a step change in the load, the load decreases

 THE RESULTS
At t=0.62 , a step change in the source voltage, the magnitude increases from 200 to 260 V
 THE RESULTS
At t=0.62 , a step change in the source voltage, the magnitude increases from 90 to 130 V
CONCLUSION

Through this project we have redone the paper Self-Tuning Digitally Controlled Low-Harmonic Rectifier Having
Fast Dynamic Response [1].
The rectifier output voltage is regulated against any change in the load, input voltage and frequency.
The rectifier output is having low-harmonics, than an ordinary rectifier.
