A low capacitance single-phase AC-DC converter with inherent power ripple decoupling (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gottardo, D., De Lillo, L., Empringham, L., & Costabeber, A. (2016). A low capacitance single-phase AC-DC converter with inherent power ripple decoupling.

This paper proposes a new single-phase AC-DC conversion topology with inherent power ripple decoupling, based on the combination of a PWM H-bridge inverter, an AC side LC filter and a ZVS line commutated H-bridge. A capacitor on the AC side is used a... Read More about A low capacitance single-phase AC-DC converter with inherent power ripple decoupling.

Experimental comparison of devices thermal cycling in direct matrix converters (DMC) and Indirect Matrix Converters (IMC) using SiC MOSFETs (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
