Simulation and practical implementation of direct power control applied on PWM rectifier

In this paper, simulation and practical implementation of direct power control is presented for a PWM Rectifier application. The proposed DPC control has several advantages, including the grid current very close to sinusoidal waveforms (TDH < 1.2%), and good regulation of DC-bus voltage is achieved using the PI controller. The simulation and the experimental results obtained in this study, demonstrate the effectiveness of the direct power control algorithm to eliminate the harmonic currents, ameliorate the active power quality and minimize the reactive energy effect which allowed us to affirm the strength of the proposed strategy.
