Abstract
To solve the problem of the large size of traditional industrial frequency phase-shift transformers and the harmonic distortion of multi-pulse wave rectifier systems, this paper proposes a three-stage shunt zigzag power electronic phase-shift transformer based on a double-tap multi-pulse wave rectifier, which combines the power factor correction (PFC) converter with the voltage-type SPWM inverter circuit to form a power electronic converter to realize the frequency boost and power factor correction. Through AC–DC–AC conversion, the frequency of the three-phase AC input voltage is increased, the number of core and coil turns in the transformer is reduced to reduce the size of the phase-shifter transformer, a zigzag structure of the phase-shifter transformer is used to solve the unbalanced distribution of current between the diode bridges, and a passive harmonic suppression method on the DC side is used to generate a loop current by using a group of single-phase rectifier bridges to regulate the input line current of the phase-shifter transformer. The phase-shifted voltage is input into two three-phase diode rectifier bridges to rectify and supply power to the load. Simulation and semi-physical test results show that the proposed method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) value of the input current of the phase-shifted transformer to 7.17%, and the THD value of the grid-side input current is further reduced to 2.49%, which meets the harmonic standard and realizes the purpose of power factor correction as well as being more suitable for high-power applications.
