The increased use of rectifiers in critical loads employed by the information technologies, and medical and military equipment mandate the design of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with high-quality outputs. The highly nonlinear currents drawn especially by high-power single-phase rectifier loads greatly distort the uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) outputs. The distorted uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) voltages cause generation of low dc voltage at the output of the rectifier loads, which causes high current flow, increased power losses, and possibly the malfunction of the critical load or the uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). As a result, different harmonics mitigating techniques have gained a lot of attention. The main objective of this project is to develop simulation of a high-performance Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique based AC-DC converter system operating under highly nonlinear loads using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Here, controlled Insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based AC-DC converter is used to supply the load instead of Diode or Thyristor Bridge. The pulse width modulationmethod is quite effective in controlling the root mean square (RMS) magnitude of the AC-DC converter output voltages and shape of input current.
