Abstract—Three-phase multipulse ac–dc converters (MPC) are developed for improving power quality to reduce harmonics in ac mains and ripples in dc output. This paper deals with the multipulse ac–dc converter configurations, state of art, their performance, power quality aspects, components selection considerations, latest trends, future developments, and potential applications. It is targeted to provide broad perspective on multipulse converter technology to the researchers, engineers, and designers dealing with them. A classified list of more than 250 research publications on the subject is also given for quick reference.

Abstract: This study proposes an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) based on series voltage compensation with an ac chopper. The proposed AVR is made up of a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) ac chopper and a transformer for series voltage compensation. In the ac chopper, the commutation problem is solved by switching patterns. The ac chopper provides direct ac–ac power conversion without energy storage elements, so the size and cost of the AVR are reduced. The ac chopper compensates for only the required voltage, so the switches have reduced ratings and stresses. Using bypass switches, the proposed AVR can compensate not only for the voltage sag but also for the voltage swell of the input voltage. Experimental results verify that the proposed AVR quickly compensates for the voltage sag and swell of the input voltage.

Abstract - In this paper, a feedback linearization control is proposed to regulate the output voltages of a three-phase four-wire inverter under the unbalanced and nonlinear load conditions. First, the nonlinear model of system including the output LC filters is derived in the d-q-0 synchronous reference frame. Then, the system is linearized by the multi-input multi-output feedback linearization. The tracking controllers for d-q-0-components of three-phase line-to-neutral load voltages are designed by linear control theory. The experimental results have shown that the proposed control method gives the good performance in response to the load conditions.

Abstract
In this paper a robust voltage controller for a single-phase UPS inverter is newly presented. The voltage controller is designed using -based robust control scheme to simultaneously guarantee robust stability and robust tracking performance in the presence of load variations. Firstly the robust performance of the resulting controller is theoretically confirmed via -analysis. Then simulations and experiments for the single-phase inverter system with linear and nonlinear loads demonstrate feasibility of the proposed control method providing improved performance - good regulation and fast dynamic response.
