A three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter consists of two six-pulse two-level active converters that enable bidirectional power flow by introducing a lag phase-shift angle of one converter with respect to the other converter. This paper explains the operating modes of a three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter in detail, taking into account the transfer of energy between the dc voltage sources and high-frequency ac inductances in the three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter. The power flow of the dc-dc converter is also examined based on the operating modes.
A Low Cost Single-Switch Bridgeless Boost PFC ConverterIJPEDS-IAES
This paper proposes the single-switch bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) converter to achieve high efficiency in low cost. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switching device forPFC operation as well as expecting higher efficiency than typical boost PFC converters. On the other hand, the implementation cost is less than traditional bridgeless boost PFC converters, in where two active switching deivces are necessary. The operational principle, the modeling, and the control scheme of the proposed converter arediscussed in detail. In order to verify the operation of the proposed converter, a 500W switching model is built in PSIM software package. The simulation results show that the proposed converter perfectly achieves PFC operation with only a single active switch.
In high power DC applications, the single-phase DC-DC converter will face large voltage and current stress in each control switch and thereby the power handling capacity is less. To overcome this problem, three-phase DC-DC converter is used and it is suitable for high power applications with reduced number of switches as compared with the conventional topologies. The asymmetrical duty cycle control is considered to operate the switches under soft switching and hence the switching losses are reduced. The transformer leakage inductances are used along with junction capacitances in order to form resonance and hence ZVS commutation is possible in a wider load range. The modified phase shift control method is used for the proposed converter.The operational modes and design equations of the proposed converter have been observed. The simulation is carried out with a load of 1000W for validating the proposed work.
This document summarizes a research paper on a bidirectional DC-DC converter with a Z-source network. The proposed converter aims to increase the output voltage level and regulation range compared to traditional bidirectional converters. It uses a fully bridge symmetrical circuit configuration with voltage and current sources. Simulation results using MATLAB show the converter can reduce current stress and improve efficiency for applications in hybrid electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Key aspects analyzed include the converter's operating principles, voltage regulation model, and simulation circuit and results demonstrating operation in forward and reverse modes.

SIMULATION ANALYSIS OF CLOSED LOOP DUAL INDUCTOR CURRENT-FED PUSH-PULL CONVER...Journal For Research
The current electronic devices require DC power source, which is taken from a battery or DC power supply. DC-DC converter is utilized to get regulated dc voltage from unregulated one. Switched mode power supply (SMPS) are commonly used in industrial applications, because of more advantages compared to linear power supply. In SMPS we have isolated and non-isolated converters, where isolated converters are frequently used, in order to get more voltage with multiple outputs. So among different isolated converters, push-pull converter is chosen for micro converter applications to obtain high voltage conversion ratio by using HF transformer, due to their better utilization of transformer. New methodology of control is implemented for making ZVS and ZCS at same time and to reduce the number of switches in the secondary side of dual inductor CFPP converter, which is a voltage doubler circuit. This becomes the solution for problem identification. Thus this converter with soft-switching reduces the switching losses.The current-fed push-pull converters are used in many applications like photo-voltaic (PV) power converters for boosting the output voltage. Push-pull converter is chosen for micro converter applications, to obtain high voltage conversion ratio by using high frequency (HF) transformer, due to their better utilization of transformer. This deals with the design of dual inductor CFPP converter, where zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) is achieved for the primary side of the converter by using secondary switches. Primary side switches are controlled by closed loop control topology. The secondary side is made with voltage doubler to obtain high voltage. Open loop and closed loop control of dual inductor current fed push pull converter simulation is finished by MATLAB/SIMULINK and their outcomes are analyzed.

Development of a Novel Three Phase Grid-Tied Multilevel Inverter TopologyIAES-IJPEDS
The conventional line-commutated ac-to-dc converters/ inverters have square-shaped line current. It contains higher-order harmonics which generates EMI and it causes more heating of the core of distribution or power transformers. PWM based inverters using MOSFET/IGBT have higher switching losses, and the power handling capability and reliability are quite low in comparison to thyristors/ SCR. A thyristor based forced commutated inverters are not suitable for PWM applications due to the problems of commutation circuits. A pure sinusoidal voltage output or waveform with low harmonic contents is most desirable for ac load using dc to ac conversion. This paper presents a new multilevel inverter topology in which three phase ac- to-dc converter circuits are used in inversion mode by controlling the switching angle. Due to natural commutation, no separate circuit is required for synchronization. In this paper simulation and analysis are done for grid-tied three-phase 6-pulse, Two three-phase, 3-pulse and 12-pulse converter. These converters are analysed for different battery voltage and different switching angle combinations in order to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD). Three-phase harmonic filters are further added to the grid side to reduce the harmonic content in the line current. A comparative study of these converters is also presented in this paper.

This paper presents dynamic analysis of a boost type DC-DC converter for high-brightness LED (HBLED) driving applications. The steady state operation in presence of all system parasitics has been discussed for continuous conduction mode (CCM).

Development of a Novel Three Phase Grid-Tied Multilevel Inverter TopologyIAES-IJPEDS
The conventional line-commutated ac-to-dc converters/ inverters have square-shaped line current. It contains higher-order harmonics which generates EMI and it causes more heating of the core of distribution or power transformers. PWM based inverters using MOSFET/IGBT have higher switching losses, and the power handling capability and reliability are quite low in comparison to thyristors/ SCR. A thyristor based forced commutated inverters are not suitable for PWM applications due to the problems of commutation circuits. A pure sinusoidal voltage output or waveform with low harmonic contents is most desirable for ac load using dc to ac conversion. This paper presents a new multilevel inverter topology in which three phase ac- to-dc converter circuits are used in inversion mode by controlling the switching angle. Due to natural commutation, no separate circuit is required for synchronization. In this paper simulation and analysis are done for grid-tied three-phase 6-pulse, Two three-phase, 3-pulse and 12-pulse converter. These converters are analysed for different battery voltage and different switching angle combinations in order to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD). Three-phase harmonic filters are further added to the grid side to reduce the harmonic content in the line current. A comparative study of these converters is also presented in this paper.

produce a nine-level output voltage, capable in handling inductive load and yields acceptable harmonic
distortion content.

This paper presents the simulation design of dc/dc interleaved boost converter with zero-voltage switching (ZVS). By employin the interleaved structure, the input current stresses to switching devices were reduced and this signified to a switching conduction loss reduction. All the parameters had been calculated theoretically. The proposed converter circuit was simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink and PSpice software programmes.

Hence, based on the designed parameters and results, the converter model can be extended for hardware implementation.

Coupled Inductor Based High Step-Up DC-DC Converter for Multi Input PV SystemIJERA Editor
With the shortage of the energy and ever increasing of the oil price, research on the renewable and green energy
sources, especially the solar arrays and the fuel cells, becomes more and more important. How to achieve high
step-up and high efficiency DC/DC converters is the major consideration in the renewable power applications
due to the low voltage of PV arrays and fuel cells. In this paper a coupled inductor dc-dc converter for photovoltaic

proposed converter has higher step-up and step-down voltage gains than the conventional bidirectional dc–dc
boost/buck converter. Under same electric specifications for the proposed converter and the conventional
bidirectional boost/buck converter, the average value of the switch current in the proposed converter is less than
the conventional bidirectional boost/buck converter. The operating principles have been applied to multi input

A new closed loop AC to DC ĈUK converter is presented in this paper. The conventional ĈUK AC to DC converter has no feedback circuit. Thereby, the output voltage of the converter changes while changing the load. The proposed closed loop converter can regulate voltage with the variation of load over a wide range. Moreover, the power factor and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the supply side current found quite satisfactory from this closed loop ĈUK converter. The converter operates in four steps with a different combination of voltage polarities and switching states. The feedback path consists of a voltage control loop and a current control loop. The closed loop ĈUK converter in this study is compared with the open loop version. Additionally, the comparison is made with the conventional converter of the same topology. The effectiveness in terms of power factor and THD of the proposed converter is verified using simulation results.

In this paper, an integrated power factor converter with PI controller is proposed. The circuit topology is obtained by integrating two converters namely the buck converter and a boost converter. The boost converter is normally a step up converter which obtain an unity power factor and performs low harmonics at the input. Based on the simple circuit topology and easy control the boost converter or buck-boost converter is used as power factor correctors. Similarly the buck converter regulates the dc-link voltage and provide a stable dc output voltage. To achieve unity power factor, the output voltage of both converter should be higher than the amplitude of the ac line voltage. The steady -state analysis is developed and a design is provided
To overcome the problem of mismatched voltage levels between parallel-connected low voltage photovoltaic (PV)
arrays and the higher grid voltage, a hybrid boost three level dc-dc converter is developed based on three level inverter with
the traditional single phase diode clamping. Only one inductor, two capacitors in series, and those power switches and diodes,
which are easy to be integrated, are used for establish the topology with transformerless high voltage gain. The operation
principle of the topology is analyzed, and then the pulse width modulation (PWM) control method is obtained according to
the switching functions about the output pulse voltages of both half-bridges. Therefore, the converter can not only operate
with high voltage gain, but also make the duty cycles of power switches closer to 0.5. A feedforward closed loop control
operation is proposed such that even in varying input the converter is capable of giving a constant output. Finally an
experimental is set up in the laboratory for open loop control operation. All experimental results verify the feasibility of the
circuit and validity of the PWM control method.
A DC-DC converter topology is presented
combining the soft switching effects of the Snubber Assisted Zero
Voltage and Zero Current Transition (SAZZ) topology and the
increased inductor frequency of the dual interleaved boost
converter with interphase transformer. The snubber capacitors
and output capacitances of the main devices are discharged prior
to turn on using a single auxiliary inductor, eliminating turn on
losses. Furthermore, the turn off losses are significantly reduced
since the energy stored in the device output capacitance at turn
off is recovered at turn on. The effectiveness of the topology is
demonstrated on a SiC prototype operating at 12.5 kW, 112 kHz,

The aim of this research is the speed tracking of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using an intelligent Neural-Network based adapative backstepping control. First, the model of PMSM in the Park synchronous frame is derived. Then, the PMSM speed regulation is investigated using the classical method utilizing the field oriented control theory. Thereafter, a robust nonlinear controller employing an adaptive backstepping strategy is investigated in order to achieve a good performance tracking objective under motor parameters changing and external load torque application. In the final step, a neural network estimator is integrated with the adaptive controller to estimate the motor parameters values and the load disturbance value for enhancing the effectiveness of the adaptive backstepping controller. The robsutness of the presented control algorithm is demonstrated using simulation tests. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that the presented NN-adaptive control algorithm can provide good trackingperformances for the speed trackingin the presence of motor parameter variation and load application.
The document presents a new method for fault classification and direction discrimination in transmission lines using 1D convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs). A 132kV transmission line model is simulated to generate training and testing data for the 1D-CNN algorithm.

Testing shows the 1D-CNN method accurately classifies and discriminates fault direction with higher accuracy than conventional neural network and fuzzy neural network methods under different fault conditions.

In this paper, the artificial neural network (ANN) has been utilized for rotating machinery faults detection and classification. First, experiments were performed to measure the lateral vibration signals of laboratory test rigs for rotor-disk-blade when the blades are defective. A rotor-disk-blade system with 6 regular blades and 5 blades with various defects was constructed. Second, the ANN was applied to classify the different x- and y-axis lateral vibrations due to different blade faults. The results based on training and testing with different data samples of the fault types indicate that the ANN is robust and can effectively identify and distinguish different blade faults caused by lateral vibrations in a rotor. As compared to the literature, the present paper presents a novel work of identifying and classifying various rotating blade faults commonly encountered in rotating machines using ANN. Experimental data of lateral vibrations of the rotor-disk-blade system in both x- and y-directions are used for the training and testing of the network.

Such a situation emphasizes the importance of active research and efficient use of renewable energy potential. According to the analysis of meteorological data for Kosovo, it can be concluded that among the most attractive potential wind power sites are the locations known as Kitka (42° 29' 41" N and 21° 36' 45" E) and Koznica (42° 39′ 32″ N, 21° 22′30″E). The two terrains in which the analysis was carried out are mountain areas, with altitudes of 1142 m (Kitka) and 1230 m (Koznica). the same measuring height, about 84 m above the ground, is obtained for these average wind speeds: Kitka 6,667 m/s and Koznica 6,16 m/s. Since the difference in wind speed is quite large versus a difference in altitude that is not being very large, analyses are made regarding the terrain characteristics including the terrain relief features. In this paper it will be studied how much the roughness of the terrain influences the output energy. Also, that the assumption to be taken the same as to how much they will affect the annual energy produced.

This system behaves a turbine, a generator, DC/DC and DC/AC power converters. These are connected on both sides to the DC bus, where the inverter is followed by a filter which is connected to the grid. In this paper, we have been used two types of controllers. For the stator side converter, we consider the Takagi-Sugeno approach where the parameters of controller have been computed by the theory of linear matrix inequalities. The stability synthesis has been checked using the Lyapunov theory. According to the grid side converter, the proportional integral controller is exploited to keep a constant voltage on the DC bus and control both types of powers. The simulation results demonstrate the robustness of the approach used.

Electricity is currently the most useful kind of energy in Bangladesh. It has a substantial influence on a country's socioeconomic standing and living standards. Maintaining a stable source of energy at a cost that is affordable to everyone has been a constant battle for decades. Bangladesh is blessed with a wealth of natural resources.

When the irradiance distribution over the photovoltaic panels is uniform, the pursuit of the maximum power point is not reached, which has allowed several researchers to use traditional MPPT techniques to solve this problem Among these techniques a PSO algorithm is used to have the maximum global power point (GMPPT) under partial shading. On the other hand, this one is not reliable vis-à-vis the pursuit of the MPPT. Therefore, in this paper we have treated another technique based on a new modified PSO algorithm so that the power can reach its maximum point. The PSO algorithm is based on the heuristic method which guarantees not only the obtaining of MPPT but also the simplicity of control and less expensive of the system. The results are obtained using MATLAB show that the proposed modified PSO algorithm performs better than conventional PSO and is robust to different partial shading models.
A stable operation of wind turbines connected to the grid is an essential requirement to ensure the reliability and stability of the power system. To achieve such operational objective, installing static synchronous compensator static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) as a main compensation device guarantees the voltage stability enhancement of the wind farm connected to distribution network at different operating scenarios. STATCOM either supplies or absorbs reactive power in order to ensure the voltage profile within the standard-margins and to avoid turbine tripping, accordingly. This paper present new study that investigates the most suitable-location to install STATCOM in a distribution system connected wind farm to maintain the voltage-levels within the stability margins. For a large-scale squirrel cage induction generator squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG-based) wind turbine system, the impact of STATCOM installation was tested in different places and voltage-levels in the distribution system. The proposed method effectiveness in enhancing the voltage profile and balancing the reactive power is validated, the results were repeated for different scenarios of expected contingencies. The voltage profile, power flow, and reactive power balance of the distribution system are observed using MATLAB/Simulink software.
The electrical and environmental parameters of polymer solar cells (PSC) provide important information on their performance. In the present article we study the influence of temperature on the voltage-current (I-V) characteristic at different temperatures from 10 °C to 90 °C, and important parameters like bandgap energy Eg, and the energy conversion efficiency η. The one-diode electrical model, normally used for semiconductor cells, has been tested and validated for the polemeral junction. The PSC used in our study are formed by the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Our technique is based on the combination of two steps; the first use the Least Mean Squares (LMS) method while the second use the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The found results are compared to other recently published works, they show that the developed approach is very accurate. This precision is proved by the minimal values of statistical errors (RMSE) and the good agreement between both the experimental data and the I-V simulated curves. The obtained results show a clear and a monotonic dependence of the cell efficiency on the studied parameters.
The inverter is the principal part of the photovoltaic (PV) systems that assures the direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) conversion (PV array is connected directly to an inverter that converts the DC energy produced by the PV array into AC energy that is directly connected to the electric utility). In this paper, we present a simple method for detecting faults that occurred during the operation of the inverter. These types of faults or faults affect the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the photovoltaic system, especially the inverter, which is the main component responsible for the conversion. Hence, we have shown first the faults obtained in the case of the short circuit. Second, the open circuit failure is studied. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Good monitoring and detection of faults in the inverter can increase the system's reliability and decrease the undesirable faults that appeared in the PV system. The system behavior is tested under variable parameters and conditions using MATLAB/Simulink.
The document describes a proposed modified bridge-type nonsuperconducting fault current limiter (NSFCL) for distribution networks. The NSFCL consists of a bridge rectifier, two DC reactors (one small in series and one large in parallel), and an IGBT semiconductor switch controlled by a command circuit. During normal operation, the IGBT is on and the parallel reactor is bypassed, making the NSFCL invisible. During a fault, the IGBT turns off, inserting the parallel reactor to limit fault current. Simulation results showed the design effectively limits fault current while minimally affecting normal operation.
This paper provides a new approach to reducing high-order harmonics in 400 Hz inverter using a three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) converter. A voltage control loop using the harmonic compensation combined with NPC clamping diode control technology. The capacitor voltage imbalance also causes harmonics in the output voltage. For 400 Hz inverter, maintain a balanced voltage between the two input (direct current) (DC) capacitors is difficult because the pulse width modulation (PWM) modulation frequency ratio is low compared to the frequency of the output voltage. A method of determining the current flowing into the capacitor to control the voltage on the two balanced capacitors to ensure fast response reversal is also given in this paper. The combination of a high-harmonic resonator controller and a neutral-point voltage controller working together on the 400 Hz NPC inverter structure is given in this paper.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

electronic switches. The phase-shifted modulation has an advantage such that zero-voltage
switching (ZVS). However, there is a limitation, whereby this technique produces high circulating current
when operate far from the dc-dc converter’s nominal operating point [10]. Triangular modulation is being
applied on a SPDAB to ensure ZVS at all switches. It is also suitable for the use in applications that has high
voltage differences between the input and output of the converters. Trapezoidal modulation is best being used
in applications which has low voltage differences between input and the output [10], [11], and [16]. It has
more frequent hard-switching turn-off processes as compared to triangular modulation. Another method is to
combine all three techniques mentioned above, also known as optimal modulation scheme. This scheme is
being used for the yield of higher efficiency on the SPDAB. This hyrbrid modulation strategy could also be
applied on a three-phase bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter (TPDAB) [17].
The TPDAB is more suitable for a high-power density application, as it has several advantages
including the ability of operation at wide range of voltage and power, low turn-off peak currents in the power
switches, higher efficiency, and reduced filter volume and costs [9]. They are employed for high-power
applications energy storage systems that are grid connected or employed in electric vehicles [17] and [18].
Eventhough the hybrid modulation strategy can improve the efficiency of the TPDAB over a wide range of
voltage level and power transfer, the mouldation strategy need high computation power. In addition, the
challenge of the converter is in the implementation of a three-phase high-frequency transformer.
Nevertheless, the converter is gaining interest for application that requires high-power density.
This paper presents the operation modes of the TPDAB based on phase-shift modulation. Although
the authors in [9] presented the topology and discussed the power transfer modes of the TPDAB, this paper
presents the mode-by-mode analysis for the first half of the TPDAB operations by considering the energy
transfer between the dc voltage sources and the high-frequency ac inductances. This analysis is intended to
be an initial reference and to aid students and researchers to understand the operating principles of the
TPDAB. Finally, this paper also discusses the power flow analysis of the TPDAB.
2. CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION OF A TPDAB
Figure 1a shows the circuit configuration of a TPDAB. It consists of bridge 1 and bridge 2. Each of
the bridges are connected to a dc voltage source, where V1 represents the voltage source at bridge 1, and V2 is
the voltage source at bridge 2. At each of the bridges, there are six IGBTs as the power semiconductor
switches, with a freewheeling diode and a snubber capacitor connected in parallel to each switch. The
freewheeling diodes are being used in the implementation of a TPDAB so that it could provide a path to
transfer the current when IGBTs are gated to turn off, and the snubber capacitors are connected to achieve
ZVS operation. A three-phase transformer with high-frequency operation is employed to provide galvanic
isolation while increasing the power density. The transformer turn ratio, d is N1: N2, where N1 is the number
of turns on bridge 1 side and N2 is the number of turns on bridge 2 side. The high frequency applied to this
transformer is usually above 20 kHz. It is designed to prevent audible noises, and to reduce the magnetic
component size of the converter. At bridge 1, S11 to S16 are IGBTs, and D11 to D16 are freewheeling diodes.
Since the circuit is symmetrical, bridge 2 has similar components and topology, where, S21 to S26 are IGBTs,
and D21 to D26 are freewheeling diodes. The first subscript number represents the bridge number, either 1 or
2, whereas the second subscript number represents the switch number, from 1 to 6.

Figure 1b shows the circuit configuration of the TPDAB referred to the bridge-1-side. All
components remained the same as in Figure 1a. However, the dc voltage source at bridge 2 is now referred to
bridge-1-side and it is denoted as V1’ ( ). The three-phase transformer is now represented as three
individual transformer leakage reactance at each of the phases. The three-phase transformer reactances can be
represented as leakage inductors as derived in [3] and [9]. It is seen that through transformation of the
simplified single equivalent circuit, the transformer reactance, L can be reduced to , where
Lsl and Lpl are the primary and secondary leakage inductances, with the assumptions of for
phase A. The per phase leakage inductance of the transformer is used as the power transfer element as
described in Section 4.
3. ANALYSIS OF THE TPDAB OPERATING MODES
Table 1 presents the switching modes for the TPDAB based on phase-shift modulation [9].
Typically, there are twelve modes of operation. However, due to the symmetry of the waveform, the analysis
is carried out for the first six of the operating modes (0 to π). In the analysis, power is assumed to flow from
bridge 1 to bridge 2, with the phase-shift angle being positive.
Figure 2 shows the gating signal control of the IGBTs on both bridge 1 and bridge 2 deduced from
Table 1. Each of the switches conduct for 180° per cycle. When the power flow is zero, T11 is turned on at the
same time as T21. T12 and T22 remains off. To ensure power to flow from bridge 1 to bridge 2, a lag phase-
shift angle, ϕ is introduced in bridge 2. The relationship of average power transfer with the phase-shift angle
is explained in Section 4.
Referring to Figure 1, the difference between the voltages in bridge 1 and bridge 2 determines the
rate of change of three-phase transformer currents, through leakage inductors, La, Lb, and Lc. A
balanced TPDAB circuit is assumed, where . Figure 4 shows the idealized operating
waveforms of the TPDAB on phase A. These waveforms show the ac voltage waveform for bridge 1 and
bridge 2, and the ac current of bridge 1. It is important to take note that there is a 120° phase-shift between
phases A, B, and C. The phase current ia in Figure 4 demonstrates the charging and discharging mode of
inductors La, Lb and Lc. The change in voltage across an inductor is proportional to the rate of change of
current in the inductor. The inductor stores and supplies energy when the product of the change in voltage
and current flow in it is positive and negative, respectively. The operating mode analysis in this paper
assumes the commutations of current in the snubber capacitors are instantaneous.

current flows through the route of T11-D21-D24-T14. Initially, inductor Lc supplies energy to V1’ via the current

4. POWER FLOW ANALYSIS
Equation (1) shows the equivalent leakage inductance of the TPDAB, where XL,eq is the overall
leakage reactance at the ac side of bridge 1. Whereas, individual leakage reactance for phases A, B, and C are
represented by XL. For every operating mode, since current in two out of three phase legs flow in the same
direction, thus the reactances are parallel to each other, yielding the formula XL/2.
