But the performances of this type of PWM rectifier are in contradiction with their characteristics of switching frequency. Scholars from Japan have presented a control scheme based on space-vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM). Due to its good characteristic of switching frequency, it has been well studied. This paper presents a simple switching algorithm based on space-vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM). Testified by experimental results, the proposed scheme can obtain high power factor and have both rectifying and regenerating abilities.","PeriodicalId":320424,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Power Conversion Conference-Osaka 2002 (Cat.

The bi-directional switching unit with four power-MOSFET elements is proposed, which can be applied to the self commutated type AC/DC converter. Another type of AC/DC converter using power-MOSFET consists of a three phase synchronous rectifier circuit, which is suitable to output one directional high DC current.","PeriodicalId":320424,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Power Conversion Conference-Osaka 2002 (Cat.

A clamped-mode series resonant converter (CM-SRC) has six operating modes in the static operation. The modes depend on the circuit parameters, states, and the variation of each switching interval. The analysis of operating mode has already been achieved in the static state. However, the dynamic mode transition of CM-SRC caused by load disturbances and the output control is not well understood. In this paper, it is clarified that output control induces new operating modes which have never been observed in the static operation experimentally and numerically.","PeriodicalId":320424,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Power Conversion Conference-Osaka 2002 (Cat.

There is therefore a need for robustness with respect, to some parameters. This paper describes the design of a robust full-order observer which takes core loss into account, using both gain-scheduled H/sub /spl infin// control and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. This design always results in a stable controller. The robustness of the proposed method with regard to variation in certain resistance parameters is evaluated by means of experimental results.","PeriodicalId":320424,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Power Conversion Conference-Osaka 2002 (Cat.
