Since these supplies are intended for very high power applications (tens of megawatts at several kilovolts), weight becomes a prime consideration in the design of the LC output filter. Because of this problem, a considerable amount of research has been conducted to minimize the weight of the inductors and capacitors for these filters. As a complement to this work, this paper describes a design algorithm that selects the minimum weight inductor and capacitor combination for a given set of specifications. Since the behavior of the filter also depends upon the impedance offered by the machine, it is necessary to include the alternator model in the simulations.","PeriodicalId":363671,"journal":{"name":"1978 IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115183349","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}
