Abstract

In this paper, a series resonant converter with PWM control is presented as an AC voltage regulator module (VRM) for high frequency AC power distribution systems. The proposed topology has close-to-unity rated power factor, low total harmonic distortion in input current, zero voltage switching under all load conditions, low voltage stress of the active switch and high overall efficiency. Simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the performance of the proposed AC VRM converter
