Abstract

AC-AC power conversion is the most popular way to generate quality ac power after the introduction of power electronics. Traditionally, an ac voltage converter is made with a transformer tap changer or with an ac-ac converter based on buck topologies or through ac-dc-ac converter. In this paper a new buck-boost ac-ac converter which has both inverting and noninverting configuration is introduced. ie; the same converter can perform the traditional buck and boost operations and also the inversion operation. The converter has got six diode- switch pairs, one inductor and two capacitors. Another advantage of this converter is that it does not posses any shoot through (commutation) problem even when all the switches are in on state. The noninverting mode can be used where normal boost or buck operation has to be performed and the inverting mode can be used for the compensation of sag or swell.
