The switches turn on a zero current, and can use the thyristor-dual principle to virtually eliminate turn-off losses, an inherent advantage of the LVI topologies being a constant-frequency operation. A half-bridge LVI power-processing cell utilizing thyristor-dual switches is analyzed, its properties are discussed, and experimental results illustrating these properties are reported. It is demonstrated that the implementation is feasible and that it results in extremely low switching losses. The transient-stability problem inherent in topologies with thyristor-duals is discussed, and a simple and highly reliable solution is proposed. Steady-state analysis has been carried out, and the boundary of the fail-safe commutation of the switches is determined. The numerical results obtained can be directly incorporated into straightforward design programs; the design procedure is summarized in a comprehensive flowchart.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":283605,"journal":{"name":"PESC '88 Record., 19th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121202886","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}

The maximum output voltage is 15% larger and the number of switchings is 30% less than those obtained by SHM. The PWM pulse creation principle is explained. As the calculation of the optimal PWM pattern needs only three multiplications, it can be executed online with a minimum ROM capacity using a conventional microprocessor.
