Abstract:A converter is described in this paper for use as a power electronics building block (PEBB). This PEBB can be utilized by itself or as a module in a larger converter. The converter utilizes a transformer, which adds isolation to the converter along with increasing the possible ways of configuring the modules. The PEBB is also bi-directional, which enables the PEBB to be suitable for a wider range of sources. The proposed PEBB is a direct converter. The direct conversion eliminates a capacitive filter, and when… Show more
