A direct application of this converter is in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) system and interfacing dc microgrid with three-phase utility grid. Such power electronics solution guarantees: (i) full controllability at both dc and ac converter sides, (ii) high level of integration with a reduction of one power switch and its drive circuits, (iii) implementation of two functions by using a unique power conversion stage, and (iv) reduction of the capacitor losses. Despite proposing a new power converter solution, this paper presents an optimized PWM strategy based on the hybrid PWM concept as well as a suitable control approach. Simulation results validate the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":113021,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Power and Energy Conference at Illinois (PECI)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127117368","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}
