Abstract :
In this paper a rectifier-inverter system including a three phase diode rectifier and a dual output inverter is proposed for independently supplying two three-phase loads. This system employs less number of semiconductor devices compared to former dual output inverters proposed in the literature and uses only six active switches for controlling two three-phase loads. Reducing the number of switches and hence drive and control circuits and also cooling system may result in a reduction in overall cost of the system, may reduce its semiconductor power loss and as a result increases efficiency and reliability especially in applications with low and medium voltage and power ratings. The new configuration is introduced and its carrier-based PWM schemes are developed. Analysis of sizing of the DC link capacitors is also performed so as to minimize the DC link voltage ripple, to reduce the value of DC link capacitors and to improve the grid current THD and the grid current balance. Furthermore, loss profile of the system is studied and the results are compared with counterpart topologies. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the authenticity of the theoretical model.
