Abstract
A new family of AC-DC converters is derived which integrate the
functions of low-harmonic rectification, low-frequency energy storage,
and wide-bandwidth output voltage control into a single converter
containing one, two, or four active switches. These converters utilize a
discontinuous conduction mode input inductor, an internal energy storage
capacitor, and transformer secondary circuits which resemble the bridge,
forward, flyback, or Cuk DC-DC converters. A large-signal equivalent
circuit model for this family is presented, which uses the
“loss-free resistor” concept. Design strategies and
experimental results are given. High-performance regulation with
satisfactory line-current harmonics is demonstrated with conventional
duty-ratio control. Further improvements in line current are possible by
simultaneous duty-ratio and switching-frequency control
