Abstract
This paper discusses experimental validation of semi-bridgeless boost rectifier (SBBR) operation of continuous conduction mode (CCM) & discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) for power quality improvement in uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system. The double stage conversion in UPS attenuates power quality at the input side and output configuration of the system. Many researchers have proposed the improvement of power quality with CCM and DCM operations for ac-dc conversion stage in bridge and bridgeless rectifier, but there is lack of knowledge about their performance and drawbacks of CCM and DCM operation with SBBR topology. This paper focuses on experimental analysis of SBBR topology operating in CCM and DCM under different load ranges. The performance of power quality factors and efficiency of SBBR operating in CCM and DCM are addressed. To study the stability analysis of SBBR operation in CCM and DCM, a comprehensive small signal model is derived by analyzing the inductor current waveforms. PSCAD simulations have obtained theoretical study of SBBR with CCM and DCM operations and experimental validation is carried out through FPGA Spartan 3A processor.
