Abstract

AC-DC conversion is required in many applications, and in some of them isolation is strictly required, certainly while maintaining characteristics such as a high power factor and low input current THD. In this paper, an AC-DC converter, comprising a full-bridge diode rectifier and a dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter, is utilized to fulfill these characteristics. The used modulation makes the converter behave as a resistive load, maintaining the output voltage constant while achieving a high power factor and low input current THD. The operation of the converter is simple, as only two voltage sensors are required, and no inner current loop is utilized. A low-power prototype was experimentally tested to corroborate the proposal.
