Design Guideline for PWM Converter Implementing Periodic VSFPWM: A Comprehensive Analysis on the Harmonics Spectrum

With the great emphasis from the international standard-setting community on the so-called supra-harmonics emissions (2-150 kHz), there are increasing research efforts in this noise level identification, measurement, standard setting and mitigation. The periodic variable switching frequency PWM method, which is known as VSFPWM, can reshape the...

Interleaved AC/DC Converter Operating with ZVS Sinusoidal Triangular-Current-Mode (S-TCM) for Reduced Voltage Harmonics Generation

The sinusoidal Triangular-Current-Mode (S-TCM) method has been proposed in the AC/DC power-factor-correction (PFC) converter to achieve the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) which can lead to both, high efficiency operation and a high power density design. Nevertheless, the necessary wide range variation of the sinusoidal switching frequency...
