Abstract

This article proposes the new noninverting buck-boost ac-ac converter, which can minimize the reverse recovery loss by disabling the body diodes of switches and using the external fast recovery diodes for its current freewheeling. In particular, the proposed ac-ac converter takes advantages of metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors and external fast recovery diodes to achieve the high efficiency. Also, it has the high reliability without the shoot-through and dead-time considerations in the circuit. Moreover, it can be simply implemented without employing the conventional commutation control. This results in decreasing the control complexity. As its proper application, a new type of dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) based on the proposed noninverting buck-boost converter is described. It enables to solve the voltage sag and swell problems by utilizing both positive and negative gains of converter. Then, the hardware prototype of proposed ac-ac converter and DVR are implemented to verify their practical effectiveness.
