DC-Modulated AC/AC Converters

Abstract:

Traditional methods of AC/AC converters have general drawbacks: output voltage is lower than input voltage, the input side THD is poor and output voltage frequency is lower than input voltage frequency by using voltage regulation method and cycloconverters. We introduce the novel approach - DC-modulated AC/AC converters in this paper, which successfully overcomes the drawbacks. Simulation and experimental results of the DC-modulated AC/AC converter are the evidences to verify our design. These methods will be very widely used in industrial applications.
