Traditional fully controlled rectifiers, such as thyristors (SCRs) and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), can achieve precise output control, but their control circuits are relatively complex. In addition, traditional diode rectifiers have shortcomings in rectification efficiency and power factor. In order to solve these problems, researchers began to explore the application of semi-controlled technology, especially combining diodes with components such as thyristors to achieve higher performance and flexibility.
[0003] With the increasing requirements for power quality and energy efficiency, multiple adjustable power conversion paths are formed by rationally configuring half-controlled diodes and controllable elements. This hybrid structure can not only improve the working efficiency of the rectifier, but also effectively reduce harmonics and power loss. In practical applications, the rectifier can achieve precise control of the load waveform, improve power quality, and meet the needs of various loads, especially in the access of photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation and other renewable energy sources.
