A rather simple ROM-based current controller is proposed for a three-phase
boost-type AC/DC converter to achieve a clean sinusoidal input current, con
trollable power factor, an adjustable DC voltage, a bidirectional power flo
w capability, a fixed switching frequency and one insensitive to input volt
age distortion. Three control schemes are proposed and integrated in the sa
me controller. As well as the basic scheme, there are a further two choices
for either reducing almost half the switch loss or enhancing the availabil
ity of the converter, while one arm of the converter fails. A prototype is
constructed, and experimental results validate the simulated results.
