Multi-pulse converters as a viable solution for power quality improvement

Abstract

Power quality is the major area of research interest amongst scientists. This is because of awareness created by IEEE 519-1992 like standards which implies the utility as well as consumers of electric power to improve the power quality. This paper investigates the potential of multi-pulse converter to be used as power quality solution. Six, twelve, eighteen and twenty four pulse converters have been modeled and simulated in Matlab environment. A vast comparison is also presented among them
