Review of AC–AC Frequency Converters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

This chapter concentrates on the reviewing of power frequency converter topologies, exploring of various alternative topologies and comparing of their relative advantages and disadvantages. It provides an outline of the structures and control strategies of power frequency converters. Furthermore, there will be shown the basic operating characteristics of several topologies of PWM AC–AC frequency converters. The major focus is given to the fundamentals of matrix converter.
