Abstract

In this paper, a small signal model is proposed for four-switch rectifier with input power factor correction. The required transfer functions are determined and calculated for a typical rectifier. This model is used to design an appropriate controller with defined characteristic to improve the rectifier performance. Another controller is used to compensate capacitors dc voltage difference. The system is simulated in Simulink and the results are provided. These results confirm the accuracy of the developed model, and also the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.
