Design, implementation and comparative analysis of an 18-pulse input flyback converter based switched mode power supply

Switch Mode Power Supply forms an integral component of the modern day power supply systems. Owing to multiple voltage conversion requirements, there is need for a SMPS system which not only mitigates the system harmonics but also provides an efficient and reliable power conversion. In this paper, an 18-pulse input fly-back converter based SMPS system has been proposed which intends to overcome the drawbacks associated with existing 18-pulse input power supply system, based on performance parameters and overall system cost. The proposed system has been designed, implemented and thoroughly analyzed using MATLAB Simulink. Also a comparative study with the existing system has been carried based on the obtained performance parameters.
