Abstract

A converter topology which is capable of four-quadrant(motoring and generation) operation is proposed for the variable speed constant frequency(hereafter referred as VSCF) power conversion scheme. The new converter topology for the VSCF power conversion scheme is made of two functional stages. One is converting stage which consists of six switches and six diodes and it interfaces a three-phase 60Hz at supply and a single-phase variable-frequency ac source. The other is the commutating stage though which each phase-winding is energized.
