Özet
This paper proposes a novel approach for low-power applications for the fast estimation of filter capacitor value and the output performance parameters such as average, and Root Mean Square (RMS) values for the voltage and current considering single-phase full-wave, three-phase half-wave and three-phase full-wave rectifier circuits. For this aim, the novel equations in this work are derived for the average output voltage and rms ripple voltage separately for each of the above-mentioned three rectifier types. Then % ripple factors for each rectifier type are calculated using newly derived equations and plotted versus the newly introduced Normalized Time Constant (NTC). Besides, considering the peak supply voltage as the base voltage, the Per Unit (p.u.) output average voltage and rms ripple voltage for each of the rectifier circuits are computed and plotted versus NTC. These graphs will be normalized graphs since the output values of these graphs have turned into independent of both supply voltage amplitude and supply frequency. Normalized graphs are set up only once for each type of the rectifier circuit. Then, and for a pre-selected ripple factor value, the corresponding NTC value is obtained by straightforward reading from the graphs set up between the % ripple factor and NTC. Once the NTC value has been acquired, using the formula of NTC leads to finding the capacitor value required for the pre-selected ripple factor with one simple step calculation. Furthermore, the p.u. values of the average output voltage and rms ripple voltage values that correspond to the same NTC value are obtained by reading them from the set-up graphs directly. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated through design examples for each type of rectifier circuit. The three design examples highlight how the output performance values can be obtained easily, accurately and swiftly. Furthermore, the viability of the graphical approach is verified by the experimental results which demonstrate the suitability of the derived equations in the proposed method.
