Abstract

In this paper, a 3-phase AC/DC converter (six switches) with power factor correction (PFC) is presented. In order to reduce the harmonics due to the high switching frequency of the converter (20kHz); a L-filter, a LCL passive filter and three LCL active filters are designed for comparison with eachother. The paper concentrates on the methods to find the parameters of these filters and discusses their control mechanism. Comparison of these different filters is carried out by simulation results and discusses their pros and cons over one another.
