Abstract : According to t he operational p rinciple of a clo sed2loop regulated high power facto r ( H PF ) p ulse
widt h modulation ( PWM) rectifier , a simulatio n model of alternating current ( AC) co nstant power load
( CPL ) is p ropo sed. This model is implemented in MA TL AB software. The inp ut current of t his model is
made to follow t he inp ut voltage and t he consistence in t heir waveforms is achieved. Whet her t he harmo nics
co ntained in t he inp ut voltage are considered or neglected , t his model can calculate t he root mean square
( RMS) of t he inp ut current and t hen generate an app rop riate current waveform. Therefo re t he inp ut power of
t he model is kept co nstant and t he influence of harmo nics is reflected in t he waveform of t he inp ut current .
Compared wit h t he experimental result s of a p ractical PWM rectifier behaving as a constant power load , t he
simulation result s in MA TL AB software verif y t he covalidity of t his model.
Key words : power converters ; harmonic distortion ; constant power load ; elect ric power facto r ; elect ric power
