Performance Analysis of Three Phase Two Quadrant Controlled Converter for DC Load Applications

Abstract

This paper provides the operation and analysis of three phase two quadrant controlled converter. In this paper, the converter is being checked with varying the duty cycle for two different loads R and RL. The Power factor, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and efficiency are better for very low duty cycle which is the same for RL load. This analysis estimates THD and power factor at various conditions. The FFT analysis is done to find the harmonic content present in the input current waveform. This analysis is done using MATLAB software.
