Design Of A Single-phase Full-bridge Diode Rectifier Power Factor Corrector Educational Test System

In this thesis an educational test bench for studying the power quality attributes of the
commonly used single-phase full-bridge diode rectifiers with power factor correction
(PFC) circuits is designed and tested. This thesis covers the active and passive power
factor correction methods for single-phase bridge rectifier. Passive filtering approach
with dc side inductor and tuned filter along with active filtering approach via singleswitch
boost converter is considered. Analysis, simulation, and design of a single phase
rectifier and PFC circuits is followed by hardware implementation and tests. In the active
PFC approach, various control methods is applied and compared. The educational bench
is aimed to useful for undergraduate and graduate power electronics course, power
quality related laboratory studies.
