This paper introduces the modelling of a novel three phase AC-AC converter with indirect use of a capacitor as DC voltage link. The proposed converter has high efficiency because it uses Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) technique at both rectificier and inverter stages to operate the pulse width modulation in IGBT switches. The novel converter is equipped with a power factor control to shape the rectifier input current waveform to be sinusoidal and to be in phase with the input voltage. To keep the DC voltage stable, the converter utilizes PI controllers. Simulations are conducted for output voltage from 120 to 300 Volts with output frequency ranging from 30 Hz to 60 Hz. The simulation results show that the converter is able to maintain stable the DC voltage and current. Furthermore, the model demonstrates the benefits of proposed converter in terms of acquiring high input power factor and sinusoidal current waveform at the output side of the inverter.

This project presents a single-switch single power-conversion (S3PC) power factor correction (PFC) converter. The control algorithm derived from feedback linearization enables the S3PC converter to obtain good controllability. The proposed converter performs both PFC control and output power control through single power-conversion. The S3PC converter provides high efficiency and high power factor in excess of 0.994.. The proposed converter is able to offer low cost and high power density in step up application due to the following features: ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off of switch and ZCS turn-off of diodes regardless of voltage and load variation; low rated lossless snubber; reduced transformer volume compared to fly back based converters due to low magnetizing current. The proposed converter is able to offer high power density in step-up application because of its simple structure; low rated lossless snubber; reduced transformer volume compared to isolation based converters due to low magnetizing current. The proposed converter is capable to stabilize the output efficiency. Experimental results are provided to validate the proposed concept. The Simulation is done with the help of MATLAB Software using Simulink.
