Hybrid one‐cycle control technique for three‐phase power factor control

One‐cycle control technique has been a prominent and suitable solution for improving power quality with the help of three‐phase rectifiers. This study proposes a generalised control strategy for the three‐phase power factor rectifier based on both the one‐cycle control technique and the hybrid pulse‐width modulation (PWM) strategy. Improvement of the performance while providing very low‐current total harmonic distortion (THD) is achieved with the proposed scheme. Discontinuous and/or continuous PWM operation is possible with advantages of simplicity, robustness, and low cost. Simulation and experimental results confirm the feasibility of the proposed controller.
