Abstract
A system comprising a controllable alternating current power source; an active rectifier coupled to the controllable alternating current power source and configured to rectify an output of the controllable alternating current power source to supply a direct current to a load; and a controller configured to adjust at least one of a parameter of the controllable alternating current power source and a parameter of the active rectifier in response to a target output.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a controllable alternating current power source;
- an active rectifier coupled to the controllable alternating current power source and configured to rectify an output of the controllable alternating current power source to supply a direct current to a load;
- and
- a controller configured to adjust at least one of a parameter of the controllable alternating current power source and a parameter of the active rectifier in response to a target output.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a controllable alternating current power source;
- a hybrid rectifier configured to rectify an output of the controllable alternating current power source configurable to operate in an active rectification mode and a passive rectification mode;
- a controller configured to switch an operation of the hybrid rectifier between the active rectification mode and the passive rectification mode in response to a threshold.
A method, comprising:
- generating an alternating current with an alternating current power source having a controllable output power;
- rectifying the alternating current with an active rectifier;
- adjusting at least one of the rectification and the generation in response to a target output.
