 Abstract—This paper discusses surge voltage suppression methods in order to design a large capacity three-phase to single-phase matrix converter which is used in AC-DC converters. In order to reduce the surge voltage, the design criteria based on the flow chart of a laminated bus bar (LBB) for the three-phase to single-phase matrix converter is clarified to achieve the lowest stray inductance. As a result, the maximum stray inductance of the LBB for 200-V, 50-kW is achieved to 59 nH in simulation and 58.3 nH in experiment. Besides, when the surge voltage exceeds the tolerance, a snubber capacitor is used in order to limit the surge voltage. In this paper, the design method of the snubber capacitor is also proposed. Concretely, the relationship among snubber capacitance, surge voltage and turn-on loss is derived. As the result, it is confirmed that the surge voltage becomes 231 V when the output current is 310 A by experiment. Thus, the design method of snubber capacitor to suppress the surge voltage is validated.

Switching Loss Reduction of AC-AC Converter using Three-level Rectifier and Inverter for UPS. Kazuki Yoneda, Hiroki Takahashi and Jun-ichi Itoh Dept. of Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering Nagaoka University of Technology Nagaoka, Niigata, Japan

Abstract— This paper proposes an AC-AC converter, which consists of T-type three-level rectifier and inverter, for an on-line UPS. The switching loss of the proposed AC-AC converter is drastically reduced because the proposed converter is driven at a very low switching frequency which is six times of input side frequency. The T-type rectifier separates the maximum phasevoltage, medium phase-voltage and minimum phase-voltage from the input voltage. Next the output waveform is built by the T-type inverter from each maximum phase-voltage, middle phasevoltage and minimum phase-voltage. The proposed circuit can achieve not only high efficiency, but also short instantaneous interruption time. Furthermore, the proposed AC-AC converter compensates a voltage dip with changing an operation mode of a rectifier. In this paper, the fundamental operation of the proposed converter is confirmed by simulations and experiments. In addition, the power loss of the proposed converter is compared to a conventional on-line UPS and the efficiency of the proposed converter is 97.1% at rated load in an experiment.

A Novel Single-Phase Cascaded Multilevel AC-AC Converter Without Commutation Problem Kim, Sang-hun Department of Electrical Engineering Graduate School, Kyungpook National University Daegu, Korea

ABSTRACT
A Novel Single-Phase Cascaded Multilevel AC-AC Converter Without Commutation Problem Kim, Sang-hun Department of Electrical Engineering Graduate School, Kyungpook National University Daegu, Korea (Supervised by Professor Kim, Heung-Geun) Abstract) This paper presents a novel cascaded multilevel PWM ac-ac converter that can solve commutation problem. By cascading the single-phase PWM ac-ac converter that uses basic switching cell structure and coupled inductors, the proposed converter does not need to sense the voltage or current polarity for safe commutation. When many unit-cells are cascaded, the proposed converter has more output voltage levels and can obtain high ac output voltage by using low voltage rating switching devices. By applying phase-shifted PWM technique, the proposed converter can reduce output filter size significantly. A 2 kW prototype converter having four unit-cell structure is built and tested to verify the performance.

Novel Current-Mode AC/AC Converters With High-Frequency AC Link-Daolian Chen-Power Electronics Research Institute, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou

Abstract—A novel circuit-topology family of the current-mode ac/ac converter with high-frequency ac link, based on a Flyback converter, is proposed. These circuit topologies, which can transfer one unregulated sinusoidal voltage with high total harmonic distortion (THD) into another regulated constant-frequency sinusoidal voltage with low THD, are composed of input cycloconverter, high-frequency storage transformer, and output cycloconverter. The circuit-topology family includes single fourquadrant power switch mode, push–pull mode, half-bridge mode, and full-bridge mode circuits. The single four-quadrant power switch mode and push–pull mode converters are suitable for low input voltage fields, but the half-bridge mode and full-bridge mode converters are suitable for high input voltage fields. The operational mode, steady principle, and transient voltage feedback control strategy of the kind of converter are investigated. The output characteristic curve, its relation to internal resistance, and the design criteria for the key circuit parameters are given. The theoretical analysis and the test result of the 500 VA 220 V ± 15% 50 HzAC/220 V 50 HzAC prototype have shown that the converters have advantages such as high-frequency galvanic isolation, simple topology, two-stage power conversion [low frequency alternating current (LFAC)/high frequency alternating current (HFAC)/LFAC], bidirectional power flow, high efficiency, high power density, low THD of the output voltage, strong adaptability to various loads, higher line power factor, low audio,noise, etc.
