The three-phase Vienna rectifier is a high-performance power conversion topology widely used in industrial and commercial applications due to its superior efficiency, power factor correction (PFC) capabilities, and reduced harmonic distortion. This paper presents the implementation of a three-phase Vienna rectifier tailored for DC load applications, utilizing Multicarrier Pulse Width Modulation (MCPWM) to achieve enhanced control and performance. The proposed system focuses on optimizing the operation of the Vienna rectifier through the strategic deployment of MCPWM, enabling precise switching control for effective power factor correction and reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the input current. The design methodology, circuit configuration, and modulation strategy are discussed in detail, with a focus on achieving stable output DC voltage, low switching losses, and improved overall system efficiency. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed MCPWM-based Vienna rectifier in handling variable DC loads while maintaining high efficiency and power quality. The implementation offers a scalable and robust solution for applications in renewable energy systems, electric vehicle chargers, and industrial power supplies, providing a pathway for further exploration and development in advanced rectifier technologies.
