Abstract

Language:

The necessary and sufficient condition for utilization of power is based on power quality, which states that qualitative power should be transmitted with negligible losses from the sending end to the receiving end. This study proposes a new compensation scheme for harmonic currents produced by diode rectifiers to achieve a power factor closer to unity and regulate DC-bus voltage. The methodology involves employing a Power Factor Correction (PFC) Boost Converter connected in shunt with the diode rectifier, allowing pure sinusoidal current draw from the source. This approach is particularly important due to the growth of nonlinear loads, which are significant sources of harmonics and can lead to increased losses in transmission and distribution networks due to reactive power disruptions. By compensating the harmonic currents through the PFC Boost Converter, the total current drawn from the source is regulated to become purely sinusoidal, thereby improving the overall power quality. Results indicate that this arrangement can achieve a power factor near unity, with total harmonic distortion (THD) levels maintained below 5%. This contribution provides a viable method for enhancing power factor and minimizing harmonic distortions in electrical systems.
