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.
