Both converters use capacitive output filters, solving the problem of high reverse recovery losses associated with hard turn-off transients of the rectifier diodes. The comparison is based on a state space analysis of the converters. The effects of the parasitic switch capacitances are considered. Optimum design criteria for minimum component stress of both converters are derived. Thus, the ratings of all components are minimized and the efficiency of the converters is enhanced considerable. The advantages of the converters are compared using voltage gain characteristics and stress characteristics. Practical applications of both converters are presented and verified in experimental prototypes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125543492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Harmonic disturbance problems, the neural network control algorithm of the active filter, and test results on a small-scale power system simulator are presented. The voltage distortion becomes lower than 1% because of the active filter operation, even under the condition that maximum voltage distortion exceed 7% without the active filter.
