This paper proposes half-wave Class DE low dv/dt rectifier using thinned-out method with delta-sigma (Δ-Σ) modulation. The thinned-out method, which eliminates some switch voltage pulses by maintaining the switch in on-state for one switching period, is applied to the half-wave Class DE low dv/dt rectifier. The thinned-out pulses which are generally given as predetermined pulse patterns are continuously...

Vienna rectifiers are widely utilized in various industry applications due to low cost, high reliability and better EMI performance. However, the DC bus voltage balancing is always an issue to be considered due to the 3-level structure. Several DC bus balancing control methods are proposed during last decade. But these methods either require a large amount of calculations or cause inaccuracy at voltage...

For the discussion about the neutral point potential (NPP) control of single phase three-level rectifiers, most of the methods solve the NPP problem by adjusting the zero-sequence voltage under symmetrical load conditions. However, when one phase voltage reaches to the maximum voltage, the other phase voltage goes to the minimal voltage. As a result, the NPP control ability is limited since there...

At present, the field of power factor corrected (PFC) rectifiers are very much matured. Typically a single phase PFC converter requires measurements from three independent sensors i.e. input voltage, input current and output voltage.

Moreover, the proposed control...
