Improving energy indicators of pulse converters

Abstrak

All rectifier circuits are divided into single-phase and three-phase, according to the number of phases of the supply network, single-cycle and two-cycle. Voltage conversion, which can vary in both frequency and amplitude, is carried out by two series-connected converters-a rectifier (AC/DC converter) and an inverter (DC/AC converter). Using simulation techniques in the MATLAB-based Simulink environment, the blocks used were taken from the sim power system/Simscape library. Models of semiconductor converters with pulse-width modulation based on one power thyristor switch and a semiconductor converter with pulse-frequency modulation based on four power thyristor switches have been developed. Experiments prove the correctness of the models. The results of a study of the developed models of semiconductor converters with pulse-width and pulse-frequency modulation are presented. The static and dynamic characteristics of pulsed semiconductor converters are presented. Analysis of the static characteristics of pulse converter circuits showed that the rigidity of the output characteristics of converters with pulse-frequency modulation is higher than that of converters with pulse-width modulation. The results of assessing the efficiency of pulsed semiconductor converters based on the analysis of static output characteristics allow us to conclude that the efficiency of a semiconductor converter with pulse-frequency modulation is more than one percent higher than that of a semiconductor converter with pulse-width modulation.
