Abstract
Three-phase three-level Vienna rectifier using powder core inductors has been widely used for power conversion. Inductor current ripple analysis of rectifier is essential for pulsewidth modulation method optimization, loss estimation, filter inductor design, etc. However, it is hard to analyze the current ripple of Vienna rectifier. Moreover, the inductance of powder core inductor varies with sinusoidal input current, which makes it even more complicated. In this article, a current ripple analysis method for three-phase Vienna rectifier considering the inductance variation of the powder core inductor is presented. The current ripple distribution of Vienna rectifier with constant inductance is studied based on the space vector approach. To determine the current ripple of Vienna rectifier with powder core inductors, an inductor voltage calculation method considering inductance variation is proposed. The compensation voltage is introduced to compensate for the effect of inductance variation on current ripple. Then, the analytical expression of the peak-to-peak current ripple with powder core inductor is derived. In addition, a design method of powder core inductor is proposed based on the analytical expression. At last, the correctness of the analytical result is verified by both simulation and experiment.
