Abstract :
Static power converters produce harmonics due to the nature of the conversion process. This paper will investigate two variations of current mode control for three-phase power converters ensuring reduced harmonic pollution and power factor improvement. The first method employed uses a Fryze current reference and the second method utilises a balanced three-phase sinusoidal reference. Both control techniques are simulated under unbalanced and distorted supply conditions using the PSIM simulation platform. The results are presented showing that using the Fryze current reference is the best choice.
