Digital Automation of the 3-Phase Modular PFC Converter under Modified Current Sharing Approach.  This paper deliberates on the new modular 3-phase topology of the Power Factor Correction converter and employs a proposed method of current share for high voltage gain. The current sharing control method allows for a current sensing circuit capable of manipulating the switch current for the PFC. The features of the proposed converter topology allow for good power factor and improved performance.

Unlike conventional current control schemes, the proposed current sharing method paves way for low harmonic distortions and unity power factor. This approach has been investigated through simulation and useful combinations and performance of the novel converter.

Introduction With the emergence of power supply applications be it industrial and laboratory uses such as radar systems, renewable energy systems and X-ray Systems, it is essential that three-phase PFC performance goes with the criteria of high-power factor, reduction of size, high quality input current and mitigation of total harmonic pollution.

[1]-[2] In regards to the features and topology of the converter. It boasts of a high structure of active components that allows for high voltage gain and an efficient current control scheme. According to various studies and simulation studies, Total-Harmonic Distortions account for 3% of the input current of typical 3-Phase PFC Rectifiers. However, this type of rectifier makes it practically advantageous since it implements a Total-Power-Factor of more than 99%.

3-Phase Modular PFC

The diversification of the three-phase PFC converter has been instituted in two forms based on their classifications; Modular converters and Single-Stage converters. Under the single stage criteria, the topology makes way for a simple circuitry but tends to be cumbersome and has low voltage stresses in diodes and switch mechanisms.
