Power Factor Correction Rectifier Design

Model Overview

Open the PowerFactorCorrectionRectifier model.

 
open_system("PowerFactorCorrectionRectifier");

This example models a 100 kW, 60 Hz three-phase power factor correction converter, but you can edit these and other parameters using the system input parameters live script. To open the system input parameter live script, at the MATLAB® Command Window, enter:

                    edit "PowerFactorCorrectionRectifierInputData"

Three-Phase Converter Model

You can implement three models for the converter using a variant subsystem and switch between the subsystems using variant controls. The Average-Value subsystem uses an Average-Value Voltage Source Converter (Three-Phase) block. You can use this model for a faster simulation without harmonics. To select this low-fidelity variant, set the powerCircuit variable to 0.

The Two-Level subsystem uses a Converter (Three-Phase) block. You can use this model to simulate harmonics. To select this variant, set the powerCircuit variable to 1.

The Three-Level subsystem uses a Three-Level Converter block. You can use this model to simulate harmonics. To select this variant, set the powerCircuit variable to 2.
