Abstract :
High-frequency AC (HFAC) power distribution systems have been the subject of great interest over the last several decades. This paper presents a thorough review of different HFAC power distribution architectures on which the authors have worked in the last 30 years. The review is focused on the HFAC power architectures and topologies for space, telecommunications, and computer applications. Detail of each architecture is given and evaluated in terms of performance specific to each application.
