Digital Control of Power Converters—A Survey

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2012
Power converters offer a high capability to efficiently manage electrical energy flows. Until a few years ago, their primary use was in supplying motors in industrial applications and in electric traction systems. Nowadays, in addition to those fields they are employed in a very wide range of low, medium, and high power applications including ...

The Electronic Converter for Exchange of Power

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1944
The installation of the first 20,000-kw electronic power converter was made in December 1943 at the Edgar Thompson plant of the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation to exchange power between their 25-cycle 44-kv and 60-cycle 69-kv systems, the latter being connected to a large public utility.

Complex behavior in switching power converters

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2002
Power electronics circuits are rich in nonlinear dynamics. Their operation is characterized by cyclic switching of circuit topologies, which gives rise to a variety of nonlinear behavior. This paper provides an overview of the chaotic dynamics and bifurcation scenarios observed in power converter circuits, emphasizing the salient features of the ...

Developments in power converters

Proceedings. Electrotechnical Conference Integrating Research, Industry and Education in Energy and Communication Engineering', 2003
Progress in the area of power electronics is reviewed, and the goals of power-converter evolution are examined. Examples at medium or high power ratings have been chosen in order to show that this evolution is not restricted to small power converters. It is noted that the development of power electronics relies on the progress made in the performance ...

Wireless Power Converters

2013
A wireless power transfer is composed of power antennas and power circuits. Besides the antennas introduced in the Chap. 3, many circuit techniques have already been developed in past years. They can be classified into the power converters and the power management techniques. We introduce the power converters in this chapter.
