  1. 1. On soft-switching isolated AC/DC converters without auxiliary circuit

    Author : Staffan Norrga; Stefan Östlund; Rik De Doncker; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical power technology; voltage source converter; cycloconverter; isolated converter; medium frequency transformer; soft switching; modulation; commutation; wind power; electric traction; Elkraftteknik; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Abstract : The thesis is concerned with a class of power electronic converter systems that permit bidirectional AC/DC conversion with galvanic separation of the AC and DC sides by a transformer operating at elevated frequency. The systems consist of a capacitively snubbered voltage source converter and a cycloconverter, separated by the mentioned transformer. READ MORE
