Design and Simulation of RLC Rectifier for Parallel LED Circuit

Description

In this study, an RLC-based rectifier simulation was designed to convert the low-frequency (20 Hz) AC voltage of a microhydro generator into a stable DC voltage for LED loads. This was done using Python numerical computation methods. A full-wave rectifier topology equipped with an LC filter was evaluated. Simulation results show that the LC filter effectively dampens voltage ripple and maintains a stable output above a minimum operating voltage of 2 V. The load current was measured over a safe range of 7.2 mA to 16.3 mA, indicating that this design can provide a reliable and safe power supply for LED operation.
