[Paper Title, Abstract] A Single-phase to Three-phase Power Conversion System with Reduced Switches and Improved Output Voltages Show AbstractHide Abstract In this paper, a topology is proposed to convert a single-phase power supply to independent three phases so that balanced or unbalanced, linear or non-linear three-phase loads can be operated. It can be used in places, e.g., rural areas, where only a single-phase power supply is available. The converter consists of four legs: i) one rectifier leg to generate a DC-bus voltage; ii) two phase legs to generate two independent phases to form balanced three-phase voltages together with the single-phase power supply and iii) one neutral leg to generate a neutral point, which is common to the single-phase supply and the two phases generated. Decoupled control strategies are developed to make sure that i) the current drawn from the single phase supply is sinusoidal and in phase with the supply voltage, ii) the generated phase voltages contain low voltage harmonics even when the load is non-linear and iii) the neutral point is maintained stable. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the excellent performance of the system. [Schedule] FTM-GWRB [Category :: Sub-Category]
