COMPARISON OF SINGLE-PHASE RECTIFIER WITH SYMMETRICAL SWITCHING AND AC-AC CONVERTER FOR THE POWER FACTOR IMPROVEMENT IN HYDROELECTRIC MICRO-PLANTS

Comparison of Single-Phase Rectifier with Symmetrical Switching and AC-AC Converter for the Power Factor Improvement in Hydroelectric Micro-Plants

In a previous paper the authors compared the AC-AC converters, useful for the frequency regulation in hydroelectric microplants varying the power dissipated in ballasts loads, with the new proposal consisting in a bridge three-phase rectifier using diodes with a serial switch with the load that is switched with symmetric angle.The paper showed that
