Abstract

The demand for reactive power from the distribution system and the production of current harmonics due to nonlinear active loads reduce the active power transport capacity, produce electrical losses and alter the voltage in the feeder buses of the distribution network. To face these challenges, this paper presents the design of a step-up/down rectifier and its control system to correct the power factor and mitigate the current harmonics produced by non-linear loads. The power interface is based on a Cuk converter, which enables to supply DC loads with voltages higher or lower than the peak value of the grid voltage. The Cuk converter is connected between the rectifier and the DC load. The main contribution of this work consists in a design method for the Cuk converter and its control system, ensuring specifications of the distribution system, the converter, and the load. The methodology consists of a design procedure of three controllers and the converter from their electrical and mathematical models. The design procedure is validated through two application examples simulated in the PSIM software. The results show the effectiveness of the design in mitigating harmonics, producing a power factor equal to one, maintaining low ripple and regulating the voltage at the load. The results show that the proposed design guarantees a ripple percentage in the grid of 2.5% and in the load of 5%, a power factor practically equal to unity, and voltage regulation in the expected number of cycles.
