18.1 Properties of the ideal rectifier It is desired that the rectifier present a resistive load to the ac power system. This leads to • unity power factor • ac line current has same waveshape as voltage

Output port model
The ideal rectifier is lossless and contains no internal energy storage. Hence, the instantaneous input power equals the instantaneous output power. Since the instantaneous power is independent of the dc load characteristics, the output port obeys a power source characteristic.

Open-loop DCM approach We found in Chapter 11 that the buck-boost, SEPIC, and Cuk converters, when operated open-loop in DCM, inherently behave as loss-free resistors. This suggests that they could also be used as near-ideal rectifiers, without need for a multiplying controller. Advantage: simple control Disadvantages: higher peak currents, larger input current EMI Like other DCM applications, this approach is usually restricted to low power (< 200W). The boost converter can also be operated in DCM as a low harmonic rectifier. Input characteristic is vg(t) v 2g(t) i g(t) T = + Re s R v(t) – v (t) e
g
Input current contains harmonics. If v is sufficiently greater than vg, then harmonics are small. Fundamentals of Power Electronics

18.4 Single-phase converter systems containing ideal rectifiers •
It is usually desired that the output voltage v(t) be regulated with high accuracy, using a wide-bandwidth feedback loop
•
For a given constant load characteristic, the instantaneous load current and power are then also constant: pload (t) = v(t)i(t) = VI
•

Internal independent energy storage Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers
Hold up time Internal energy storage allows the system to function in other situations where the instantaneous input and output powers differ.
A common example: continue to supply load power in spite of failure of ac line for short periods of time. Hold up time: the duration which the dc output voltage v(t) remains regulated after vac(t) has become zero A typical hold-up time requirement: supply load for one complete missing ac line cycle, or 20 msec in a 50 Hz system During the hold-up time, the load power is supplied entirely by the energy storage capacitor

Energy storage element Instead of a capacitor, and inductor or higher-order LC network could store the necessary energy.
But, inductors are not good energy-storage elements Example 100 V 100 µF capacitor 100 A 100 µH inductor each store 1 Joule of energy But the capacitor is considerably smaller, lighter, and less expensive So a single big capacitor is the best solution

Inrush current A problem caused by the large energy storage capacitor: the large inrush current observed during system startup, necessary to charge the capacitor to its equilibrium value. Boost converter is not capable of controlling this inrush current. Even with d = 0, a large current flows through the boost converter diode to the capacitor, as long as v(t) < vg(t). Additional circuitry is needed to limit the magnitude of this inrush current. Converters having buck-boost characteristics are capable of controlling the inrush current. Unfortunately, these converters exhibit higher transistor stresses.

With a boost converter, this voltage is 380 or 400V.

Low-frequency model of dc-dc converter Dc-dc converter produces well-regulated dc load voltage V. Load therefore draws constant current I. Load power is therefore the constant value Pload = VI. To the extent that dc-dc converter losses can be neglected, then dc-dc converter input power is Pload , regardless of capacitor voltage vc(t). Dc-dc converter input port behaves as a power sink. A low frequency converter model is p (t) = VI = P i (t) load

If the load power exceeds the average rectifier power, then there is a net discharge in capacitor energy and voltage over one ac line cycle.

Bandwidth of capacitor voltage loop •
The energy-storage-capacitor voltage feedback loop causes the dc component of vc(t) to be equal to some reference value
•
Average rectifier power is controlled by variation of Re.
•
Re must not vary too quickly; otherwise, ac line current harmonics are generated
•
Extreme limit: loop has infinite bandwidth, and vc(t) is perfectly regulated to be equal to a constant reference value • Energy storage capacitor voltage then does not change, and this capacitor does not store or release energy • Instantaneous load and ac line powers are then equal • Input current becomes i ac(t) =

Transfer functions with constant power load When r2 = – R, the parallel combination r2 || R becomes equal to zero. The small-signal transfer functions then reduce to
