Comparative Study of Switching Technique for Vienna Rectifier at 50 kW-350kW
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research presents a comparison of switch control techniques for the Vienna Rectifier between Pulse width modulation (PWM) and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) for electric vehicle charging systems with power ratings between 50–350 kW. Focusing on studying the impact on power quality from the supply side, including of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Power Factor (PF). The system simulation was conducted on the MATLAB/Simulink platform, with the design of a PI controller to generate control signals for the circuit switch, particularly in the case of PWM techniques. The experimental results show that the output voltage remains constant at 800 V, and the harmonic distortion of the input current can be maintained below 5%, which complies with the IEEE 519-2022 standard. Additionally, stability tests of the system were conducted under sudden load changes by varying the load power at 50 kW, 100 kW, 250 kW, and 350 kW, respectively. The test results show that the output voltage remains stable at 800 V with THD values of 4.794%, 2.4%, 1.0%, and 0.7065%, respectively. Compared with the SVPWM technique, the PWM technique has a lower THD for the input current, and the output voltage ripple signal is smaller when the power level exceeds 250 kW, reflecting better system performance under a wide range of load conditions. Additionally, the PWM technique uses fewer resources for system control.
