An Analysis and Modeling of Grid Connected Multiple-Pole Multilevel Unity Power Factor Rectifier

Abstract

In this paper, to improve power factor a simple model based on five levels multiple pole is used. It is also used to improve harmonic distortion and efficiency which is done by using reduced number of component counts. Most of the work has been done to obtain these factors. In this project, 5L-M2UPFR is used which give almost unity power factor. By this method, the un factor with input current shaping is obtained with less number of measurement components. This paper uses balanced and unbalanced load condition over which these improved response is obtained.
