Power Quality (PQ) has become
an important topic of discussion and research, especially in a deregulated environment.
As per IEEE 519 std. these parameters of power quality measurement, are four in
number, of which Total Harmonic Distortion is most widely used. Semiconductor
switching devices in Power Electronics which are generally used in converter
circuits produce significant harmonic voltages as they chop voltage waveforms
during the transition between the conducting and cutoff stages. The diode
bridge rectifiers/converters are considered as a major contributor to the power
system harmonics and the consequences are varying from components overheating
to communication
interference. This project
links the field of electrical power conversion and electrical drives (DC),
where these power converters find applications. Electric drives play an important
role in industry as well as our day-to-day life. They are use the electrical
power input and provide mechanical work as output. This project can be well
designed and simulated in MATLAB environment.
