Conversor CA-CC trifásico de único estágio, bidirecional, isolado em alta frequência, com correção de fator de potência

Abstract

This work proposes the study and implementation of a single-stage three-phase bidirectional ac-dc converter with high-frequency isolation and power factor correction. Based on the dual active bridge (DAB) converter associated with the three-state switching cell (3SSC), it is possible to state that this topology is adequate for telecom power supply applications operating at 380 V-400 V. Another interesting application for the proposed approach lies in novel concepts involving distributed generation and smart grids, since this converter is able to connect the three-phase grid to other sources/loads and control power flow among them. A theoretical analysis is carried out based on the fundamental model, where it is shown that the voltage across the H-bridge is nearly that obtained with AM-DSB (Amplitude Modulation with Double Side-Band) technique. Thus, the analysis of losses is performed while the limits for the semiconductors operating under soft switching condition are established. A design example is developed, while all hardware is described and software is implemented in a 32-bit microcontroller by Texas Instruments. Simulation and experimental results are properly discussed, validating the proposed converter operation in terms of steady-state condition and transient response when submitted to load steps.
