Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a voltage rectifier may include: an AC/DC converter, a first DC/DC converter, and a second DC/DC converter. The AC/DC converter may be configured to convert an AC source voltage to a DC bus voltage. The first DC/DC converter may be configured to convert the bus voltage to a DC compensating voltage having an AC ripple to compensate for AC ripple of the bus voltage. The second DC/DC converter may be configured to convert a DC compensated bus voltage to a DC output voltage, wherein the DC compensated bus voltage is equal to a difference between the bus voltage and the compensating voltage.
