“…Similarly, a full-bridge structure can be derived, as shown in Figure 12 (Jackson & Leeb, 2000), although it uses four active switches and high voltage gain is not achieved due to the absence of the split dc link.…”

High power factor rectifiers have been consolidated as an effective solution to improve power quality indices in terms of input power factor correction, reduction in the total harmonic distortion of the input current and also regulated dc voltages. Within this context, this subject has motivated the introduction of numerous converter topologies based on classic dc-dc structures associated with novel control techniques, thus leading to the manufacturing of dedicated integrated circuits that allow high input power factor by adding a front-end stage to switch-mode converters. In particular, boost converters in continuous current mode (CCM) are widely employed since they allow obtaining minimised electromagnetic interference levels. This work is concerned with a literature review involving relevant ac-dc single-phase boost-based topologies with high input power factor. The evolution of aspects regarding the conventional boost converter is shown in terms of improved characteristics inherent to other ac-dc boost converters. Additionally, the work intends to be a fast and concise reference to single-phase ac-dc boost converters operating in CCM for engineers, researchers and experts in the field of power electronics by properly analysing and comparing the aforementioned rectifiers.

The need for solid-state ac-dc converters to improve power quality in terms of power-factor correction (PFC), reduced total harmonic distortion at input ac mains, and precisely regulated dc output have motivated the proposal of several topologies based on classical converters such as buck, boost, and buck-boost. Additionally, novel control techniques dedicated to PFC have also been introduced, motivating the manufacturing of commercial integrated circuits to impose sinusoidal currents in the front-end stage of switch-mode converters. Boost converters operating in continuous current mode (CCM) have become particularly popular because reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels result from its utilization. Within this context, this work deals with a comprehensive review of some of the most relevant ac-dc singlephase boost converters for PFC applications. The evolution of the conventional boost converter is demonstrated in terms of improved characteristics achieved by other boost-based topologies. Besides, it seeks to establish a fast and concise guide on ac-dc boost converters to researchers and experts in power electronics by comparing the topologies.

“…These can be classified as classical single and double stage, multiport and multilevel. In the single stage topologies, the most used power converter is the single or three-phase H-bridge voltage source inverter [1,2]. In the double stage topology it is used two power converts, a dc/dc converter and a dc/ac converter.…”

In this work a new multilevel structure for interfacing energy storage systems is presented. This structure is based on a dual T-type three level voltage source inverter. These two power converters are connected to the grid by a three-phase transformer. This transformer has an open winding configuration on the side that connects to the multilevel power converter. This structure will present multilevel characteristics. A controller for this multilevel structure is also presented. The proposed topology and control system has been verified by numerical simulations. From the results of these simulations it is possible to verify the characteristics of the proposed structure.I.
