Abstract

This is the first attempt to control the instantaneous output of an ac/ac direct power converter. The ac chopper-type regulator has the potential ability of quick response to the control command. However, detecting the mean or effective value of the ac output voltage, as is commonly done in the conventional closed-loop ac regulators, greatly degrades the inherent fast response capability of the chopper circuit. The proposed ac switching regulator adopts the Cuk converter for the main circuit and an instantaneous voltage control technique. A practical state feedback scheme together with the integral control was devised to stabilize the system and also minimize the steady-state error. The response speed is so fast (about 300 μs with resistive load) that the converter can produce a sinusoidal output voltage even from a distorted source voltage. The four-quadrant operation can handle any kind of ac load. A complete analytical description and relevant design data of this new regulator are provided with some experimental results.
