Abstract

As the size and the cost of power semiconductor switches are decreasing, converter topologies with high device count are starting to draw more attention. One such type of converters is the high frequency AC (hfac) link converters. A popular control method for these converters is Pulse Density Modulation (PDM). The hfac link voltage of the converter in this paper is a high frequency, three-step, variable pulse-width (PW) square wave voltage waveform. A Genetic Algorithm approach will be used to determine the PW to optimize the output voltage harmonic content.
