Abstract

This paper classifies the pulse pulsed dc-link voltage (PDCLV) topologies in six types, depending on both the shape of the pulsed DC-link voltage waveform and the circuit ability to synchronize, or not, with external pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. Main features are compared for a large number of topologies in which the bridge devices commutate under zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) technique. The paper also presents a comparative study of the losses produced by these converters and discusses the principles they employ causing generation such losses. An overview of the control and PWM possibilities for these converters is given and an extensive bibliography is included.
