Abstract
In this paper, a simplified Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique for the Vienna rectifier is presented. Furthermore, the robustness of this modulation technique is tested under various faults. A MATLAB/Simulink model for the 70 kW Vienna rectifier model is implemented and the results are provided. A low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and unity Power Factor (PF) are achieved. The simplified SVPWM provides effective capacitor voltage balancing even under extreme faults.
