Abstract

This paper presents the analysis and design of the integral cycle converter (ICC) to be used as a local point of load converter in a high frequency distributed power system. In particular, a model for the ICC is developed to investigate the degree of distortion of the input current drawn from the bus, and to study the synthesized output voltage as a function of switching sequence. An intuitive method to estimate the effect of a given switching sequence on a particular harmonic component is proposed, and its application to the design of a unity power factor ICC is demonstrated and validated by simulations.
