Power Converter For 60 Hz-400 Hz Bilateral Power Conversion

A power converter for 60-400 Hz bilateral power conversion (BPC) is proposed in this article. This power converter is composed of three power switch arms, a set of filter inductors, a frequency decoupling circuit, a 60 Hz ac capacitor and a 400 Hz ac capacitor. The proposed BPC has the salient feature that it has the function of 60-400 Hz bilateral power conversion using only one power electronic converter. Hence, the proposed BPC can simplify the power circuit. Both simulation and experimental results verify the performance of the proposed BPC is as expected.
