Power quality improvement based on novel power electronic transformer

This paper presents a novel topology of power electronic transformer. In the design process, the AC/DC, DC/AC, AC/AC converters and high frequency transformer have been used. One matrix converter operates as AC/AC converter in power electronic transformer. The proposed power electronic transformer performs typical functions and has advantages such as power factor correction, voltage sag and swell elimination, voltage flicker reduction and protection capability in fault situations. Power quality improvement with proposed power electronic transformer has been verified by the simulation results.
