A novel circuit topologies family of the current mode AC/AC converter with high frequency ac link, based on Flyback converter, are proposed. These circuit topologies which can transfer one unregulated sinusoidal voltage with high THD into another regulated constant frequency sinusoidal voltage with low THD, are constituted of input cycloconverter, high frequency storage transformer and output cycloconverter. The circuit topologies family include single four-quadrant power switch mode, push-pull mode, half-bridge mode,and fullbridge mode circuit. The single four-quadrant power switch mode and push-pull mode converter are suit for low input voltage fields, but the half-bridge mode and fullbridge mode converter are suit for high input voltage fields. The operational mode, steady principle and transient voltage feedback control strategy of the kind of converter are investigated. The output characteristic curve, its relation to internal resistance, and the design criterions for the key circuit parameters are given. The current mode AC/AC converters with high frequency ac link have the advantages such as simple topology, two-stage power conversions, bi-directional power flow, high frequency electrical isolation, good line current waveform, strong load adapting ability. The correction and advance of the converters are verified by the Pspice simulation and test results.

A novel combined soft switching technique and a novel circuit topologies family of the static inverter with high frequency pulse dc link are proposed in this paper. The topology structure is constituted of isolated high frequency pulse DC link circuit and DC/AC inverter. In order to overcome the duty cycle D of the one transistor forward mode Static Inverter less than 0.5 and the circuit topology of the interleaved forward mode Static Inverter more complicated, the duty cycle extension of high frequency pulse DC voltage is proposed in this paper. The steady operation principle of the active clamp forward mode high frequency pulse dc link static inverter with duty cycle extension and the control strategy of three-state discrete pulse modulation hysteresis current are deeply investigated. The design criteria for the key circuit parameters are gained. By using combined soft switching technique and the duty cycle extension of high frequency pulse DC voltage, a designed and developed 750VA 27VDC/115V400HzAC prototype has the advantages such as high efficiency, high power density, high reliability, high steady precision, fast dynamical response, strong ability of over-load and short-circuit, and low THD of output voltage.

A circuit configuration and circuit topological family of voltage mode ac–ac converters with high frequency ac links, which are based on forward converters, and a uni-polarity phase-shifted control strategy are proposed and deeply investigated. These kinds of converters consist of a input cycloconveter, a high frequency transformer, an output cycloconverter, input and output filters, and can transfer an unsteady ac voltage with a high harmonic into steady same-frequency ac sinusoidal voltage with a low harmonic. By using uni-polarity phase-shifted control strategy, output filtering inductance current is naturally commutated, and zero voltage switching of the output cycloconverter is realized. The converters’ averaging model, the output characteristic curve, and design criteria for the key circuit parameters are given. The theoretical analysis and test result of 1kVA220V±10%50 Hz ac/110V50Hz ac prototype have shown that the converters have such advantages as high frequency electrical isolation, simple topology, two-stage power conversion (LFAC/HFAC/LFAC), bidirectional power flow, uni-polarity synchronized pulsewidth modulation waveform, high efficiency, high power density, high steady precision, low total harmonic distortion of the output voltage, strong adaptability to various loads, high line power factor, and low audio noise etc.
