Large electric drives and utility applications require advanced power electronics converter to meet the high power demands. As a result, power converter structure has been introduced as an alternative in high power and medium voltage situations. To improve the performance of the ac-dc converter (i.e., good power factor correction , low total harmonic distortion (THD) and low dc bus voltage), two bulk storage capacitors are adopted. Its excellent line regulation capability makes the converter

The converter is made to operate with two independent controllers an input controller that performs power factor correction and regulates the dc bus and an output controller that regulates the output voltage.
