Abstract

A new, high performance, low cost power converter system architecture is proposed. The system consists of a main converter and a multifunctional load conditioner. The main converter deals with most of the power flow running at a low switching frequency. The load conditioner is designed at a much lower power level running at a high-switching frequency. The load conditioner can (1) act like a current source and inject harmonic currents required by the load; (2) act like an active resistor to provide damping to the main converter; and (3) for three-phase inverters, decouple the coupling sources in the main inverter model in the rotating coordinates to make the control loop design for the main inverter much easier. The concept has been proved by simulation and experimental results on a 150 kW high performance three-phase utility power supply prototype. The proposed system configuration can be used in high power DC-DC converters, inverters, PFC and UPS applications.
