This paper introduces a direct power control (DPC) of three-phase PWM rectifier based on a new switching table. The control principle is the result of a regulation loop between the instantaneous power and the reference powers. The simulation results prove that this advanced switching table have many advantages such as purely sinusoidal input current, low harmonic distortion of input current, unit power factor and adjustment of DC-link voltage. Experimental results are carried out using Dspace 1104. The proposed control algorithm gives low harmonic distortion of the current of the grid and operating at zero reactive power.
