Under unbalanced supply condition low order harmonics will appear at the input and output terminals of the PWM AC to DC converter. Based on the positive and negative sequence components, an unbalanced transfer matrix in terms of the input phase voltages is derived. An on-line method using a neural network (NN) is used to implement this transfer matrix. It is shown that by using an additional lo...

DC-DC converters have been applied to industrial applications widely during the past few decades. With rapid development of technology, negative output (N/O) dc-dc converters play an important role in the industrial fields, such as regenerative braking system (RBS) of DC motors for hybrid electric vehicles, signal generator and data transmission interface, neutral point clamping power electroni...

This paper presents two current control techniques of an ac-dc boost converter to obtain unity power factor (PF). Single phase high power factor rectification is the most frequently accomplished using a boost converter. This converter reshapes distorted input current waveform to approximate a sinusoidal current that is in phase with the input voltage. There are several current control technique...

In this paper, robustness of the damping injection schemes for passivity based control (PBC) of the three-phase AC/DC voltage-source (Boost type) rectifier is studied. The idea is to extend the tuning strategy for PBC that is presented in (Jeltsema and Scherpen, 2004) for DC/DC converters to three-phase AC/DC rectifiers. In the DC/DC converter case this tuning strategy leads to a PBC scheme wit...
