Two techniques are presented to balance the filter capacitor voltages of a multi-pulse rectifier with active injection operating on a variable frequency supply. The active injector consists of a low-rated, bidirectional switch that modifies the behaviour of a 12-pulse rectifier at either low or high-frequency, resulting in 24-pulse or multi-level PWM operation respectively. The operation of the rectifier...
A novel soft switching inverter using two small coupled magnetics in one resonant pole is proposed to guarantee the main switches operating at zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) from zero load to full load and the auxiliary switches at zero-current-switching (ZCS) with load adaptability and small current stress. Since independent magnetics structure avoids the unwanted magnetizing current freewheeling loop,...
An interleaved SEPIC converter with LED current dimmable and input power factor correction is proposed as a high performance driver for the high brightness white LEDs. The converter is controlled with voltage mode PWM and run in discontinuous conduction mode so that the inductor current follows the rectified input voltage. The critical design constraints and equations for both the power stage and...
This paper presents a controller with duty-cycle dynamic distribution within parallel-connected PFC converters based on average-current control strategy, which can distribute the control duty-cycle automatically for each parallel-connected PFC converter to realize current balance by the difference from its reference current, and it can decrease and even eliminate the disturbance resulted by current-balancing...
A new integrated voltage-fed PWM ac-dc converter that combines an ac-dc boost converter with a dc-dc full-bridge converter is proposed in the paper. The paper explains the operation of the converter in detail and discusses its features. An analysis of the converter is performed and the results of the analysis are used to develop a procedure for the design of the converter that is demonstrated with...
It is well known that there exist second-order harmonic current and corresponding ripple voltage on dc bus for single phase PWM rectifiers. The low frequency harmonic current is normally filtered using a bulk capacitor in the bus which results in low power density. This paper studies the energy storage capacitor reduction methods for single phase rectifiers. The minimum ripple energy storage requirement...
In this paper, a KY boost converter is presented, which is the KY converter combined with the traditional boost converter. Such a converter has continuous input and output inductor currents, different from the traditional boost converter. And hence this converter is very suitable for low-ripple applications. The detailed illustration of the proposed converter is provided, along with some experimental...
