2 18.5 RMS values of rectifier waveforms Doubly-modulated transistor current waveform, boost rectifier: i Q Computation of rms value of this waveform is complex and tedious Approximate here using double integral Generate tables of component rms and average currents for various rectifier converter topologies, and compare t Fundamentals of Power Electronics 77 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

3 RMS transistor current RMS transistor current is i Q I Qrms = 1 Tac T ac i Q dt Express as sum of integrals over all switching periods contained in one ac line period: t T ac /T s I Qrms = 1 T 1 s i Q dt Tac Ts n =1 nt s (n-1)t s Quantity in parentheses is the value of i Q, averaged over the n th switching period. Fundamentals of Power Electronics 78 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

4 Approximation of RMS expression T ac /T s n =1 I Qrms = 1 T 1 s i Q dt Tac Ts nt s (n-1)t s When T s << T ac, then the summation can be approximated by an integral, which leads to the double-average: I Qrms 1 Tac T ac /T s nt s lim Ts T 1 s i Q (τ)dτ Ts n=1 (n-1)t s = 1 1 i Q (τ)dτdt Tac Ts T ac t t+t s = i Q Ts T ac Fundamentals of Power Electronics 79 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

5 Boost rectifier example For the boost converter, the transistor current i Q is equal to the input current when the transistor conducts, and is zero when the transistor is off. The average over one switching period of i Q is therefore If the input voltage is i Q t+t s t = 1 i T s T Q dt s = di ac v ac = sin ωt then the input current will be given by i ac = Re and the duty cycle will ideally be sin ωt v ac = 1 1d (this neglects converter dynamics) Fundamentals of Power Electronics 8 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

6 Boost rectifier example Duty cycle is therefore d=1 Evaluate the first integral: i Q = M T s sin ωt Now plug this into the RMS formula: I Qrms = 1 Tac i Q 1 sin ωt sin ωt T ac T s dt = 1 Tac T ac 1 sin ωt sin ωt dt I Qrms = Tac sin ωt sin 3 T ac / ωt dt Fundamentals of Power Electronics 81 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

8 Boost example: transistor RMS current I Qrms = 1 8 3π = 1 8 3π Transistor RMS current is minimized by choosing as small as possible: =. This leads to I Qrms =.39 When the dc output voltage is not too much greater than the peak ac input voltage, the boost rectifier exhibits very low transistor current. Efficiency of the boost rectifier is then quite high, and 95% is typical in a 1kW application. Fundamentals of Power Electronics 83 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

17 Expression for controller duty cycle d Solve input side of model: i g d = v g d'v with i g = v g v g = sin ωt v g i g d d' : 1 i d i = I + C R (large) + v = eliminate i g : v g d = v g d'v solve for d: d= v v g v v g Again, these expressions neglect converter dynamics, and assume that the converter always operates in CCM. Fundamentals of Power Electronics 9 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

18 18.6. Expression for the dc load current Solve output side of model, using charge balance on capacitor C: I = i d T ac i d =d'i g =d' v g v g i g d d' : 1 i d i = I + C R (large) + v = Butd is: d'= v g 1 v v g hence i d can be expressed as i d = v g 1 v v g Next, average i d over an ac line period, to find the dc load current I. Fundamentals of Power Electronics 93 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

19 Dc load current I Now substitute v g = sin ωt, and integrate to find i d T ac : I = i d T ac = T ac T ac / 1 This can be written in the normalized form v sin ωt sin ωt dt I = T ac 1 R sin ωt on 1asin ωt T ac / dt with a = Fundamentals of Power Electronics 94 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

20 Integration By waveform symmetry, we need only integrate from to T ac /4. Also, make the substitution θ = ωt: I = M 1 R π/ on sin θ π 1asin θ dθ This integral is obtained not only in the boost rectifier, but also in the buck-boost and other rectifier topologies. The solution is 4 π π/ sin θ 1asin θ dθ = F(a)= a π 4 sin1 a π + a + cos 1 1a a Result is in closed form a is a measure of the loss resistance relative to a is typically much smaller than unity Fundamentals of Power Electronics 95 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

Losses other than MOSFET on-resistance are not included here Fundamentals of Power Electronics 98 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers

24 Design example Let us design for a given efficiency. Consider the following specifications: Output voltage 39 Output power 5 W rms input voltage 1 Efficiency 95% Assume that losses other than the MOSFET conduction loss are negligible. Average input power is P in = P out η = 5 W.95 = 56 W Then the emulated resistance is = g, rms = P in (1 ) 56 W = 7.4 Ω Fundamentals of Power Electronics 99 Chapter 18: PWM Rectifiers
