This paper talks about the vector control of three phase active front end rectifier employed using space vector pulse width modulation (svpwm) scheme. The major problems that tend to deteriorate the power quality mains are the current harmonics injected in the utility due to non-linear loads and resulting low power factor of load. Using the instantaneous reactive power theory and voltage oriented vector control idea; a dual channel closed-loop control strategy is built, which in turn mitigates the major problems mentioned above. The proposed control can stabilize the minimum of the system storage function at the desired equilibrium point determined by unity power factor, sinusoidal current on ac side and constant output voltage on dc side. A simulation of three phase active front end rectifier is verified under different loads. The simulation results show that the system has a characteristic of good anti-interference performance and fast dynamic response.
