Title: A Novel Bidirectional Single-Phase Fifteen-Level Buck-Boost Rectifier for Power Factor Correction with Reduced Switch Count
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel bidirectional single-phase buck-boost rectifier for power factor correction that generates a fifteen-level voltage at its input. This multilevel rectifier as a high-power density topology with a reduced number of switches is based on the packed U-cell (PUC) converter. In this fifteen-level PUC-based rectifier (PUC15-rectifier), triple output terminals are available to supply various de loads at different voltages without requiring any dc-side passive filter. Besides, it is connected to the grid merely through a reduced size inductive filter. Generating a fifteen-level voltage waveform decreases the harmonic content of both voltage and current in the PUC15-rectifier input that makes it a reliable candidate for various industrial applications with a high-power quality performance. As PUC15-rectifier accurate operation depends on achieving four main control objectives and considering its dynamic model, a finite control-set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method is also designed. The overall performance of the proposed PUC15-rectifier is verified by extensive simulation results.
