“…A competitive novel three-phase buck-type rectifier referred to as the SWISS Rectifier was first introduced in [10] [11], but only a brief description of the concept was given. In [12], the principle of PFC operation and analytical expressions for main devices selection of this topology were illustrated.…”

In this paper, a competitive three-phase buck-type PFC converter named SWISS Rectifier is comprehensively researched to inhibit mains current distortion. The control structure which would realize PFC function but also introduce harmonic components to mains current is illustrated and improved to achieve better performance. The origin of the mains current distortion occurred at the sector boundaries is analyzed. Advance modulation scheme and damping strategy are proposed to improve mains current quality. A 10kW-100KHz hardware prototype is designed and experiments results are presented to verify theoretical analysis.

“…The principle of operation of the Swiss-Forward Rectifier is in its essence the same than that of the Swiss Rectifier [13], [14], the only difference being that the buck-type DC-DC converters are replaced by isolated forward-type DC-DC converters. Thus two transformers and the diodes D + and _D_ are added in Fig.…”

“…In [13], [14] a new type of rectifier is proposed, called the Swiss Rectifier (SR), consisting of a diode-bridge and three bidirectional switches, and two in the topology integrated buck-type DC-DC converters. It is possible to replace the buck-converters by other types of DC-DC converters including isolated DC-DC converters and thus obtaining an isolated quasi-single-stage topology.…”

Abstract-Recently an important increase of the electrical equipment in modern aircrafts is leading to an increase in the demand for electrical power. The usual electrical power distribution in aircraft applications is done via a three-phase 115Vac grid. A new trend of DC distribution is emerging employing a 270 Vdc grid. This yields the need for highefficiency and high power-density AC-DC converters, connecting the two grids while providing galvanic isolation. Traditionally 12-pulse autotransformer passive rectifiers are used in aircraft applications. This converter is robust and highly reliable, however it is a non-controlled topology and it is relatively heavy because of the low frequency power transformer. Two-stage rectifier system approaches, employing three-phase PWM rectifiers or active filters and isolated DC-DC converters, are good alternatives to be applied in aircraft applications, to reduce the weight by using high frequency transformers and inductors. However, two-stage topologies process the energy twice leading to lower efficiency, power density. The reliability is also not very high due to a high semiconductor component count. This paper presents a new isolated single-stage PWM rectifier system, based on the recently presented non-isolated Swiss rectifier topology, called the Swiss-Forward rectifier. The principle of operation of this converter topology is presented together with detailed design guidelines and experimental validation on a 3.3kW 115Vac to 270Vdc prototype.

“…Therefore, a simplified topology which can perform multiple functions was studied [22]. For reducing the switch power losses and EMI noise, a bidirectional swiss rectifier [23], [24] and a bidirectional 3rd harmonic injection active filter rectifier [25] were proposed. Their common advantage is that the rectifier works as the fundamental frequency.…”

In this paper, a single-phase current-source bidirectional converter topology for V2G applications is proposed. The proposed converter consists of a single-phase current-source rectifier (SCSR) and an auxiliary switching network (ASN). It offers bidirectional power flow between the battery and the grid in the buck or boost mode and expands the output voltage range, so that it can be compatible with different voltage levels. The topology structure and operating principles of the proposed converter are analyzed in detail. An indirect control algorithm is used to realize the charging and discharging of the battery. Finally, the semiconductor losses and system efficiency are analyzed. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed topology.
