Abstract

A novel high-power triple line-voltage cascaded three-phase unity power factor rectifier is proposed to address the complex topology and control of the three-phase rectifier stage in traditional high-power charging power supply modules. The topology is composed of three line-voltage cascaded traditional three-phase single-switch boost-type voltage rectifier modules. With the triple line-voltage cascaded structure, in the proposed topology, the number of the fully controlled power switches and the voltage stresses of each power switch are both effectively reduced. In addition, the proposed rectifier topology can operate at a unity power factor with a sinusoidal input current. In this paper, the circuit structure and the operation principle including the DC-link voltages output characteristics of the proposed topology are described, and a corresponding system control strategy based on one cycle control (OCC) is presented. Simulation and experimental results are given which verified the feasibility of the proposed topology and control strategy.
