Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of switching power supplies, and in particular to a single-stage bridgeless AC-AC converter device, a control method and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Power electronic transformer is a power electronic conversion structure that integrates power electronic switching devices with high-frequency transformers to realize the conversion of electric energy with one power characteristic into electric energy with another power characteristic. The traditional transformer process is simple and the technology is mature, but its disadvantages are also obvious. The main problems are large size, heavy weight, and poor power quality. In addition, when a load current fault occurs, it cannot play a protective role, and it is easy to cause a sharp increase in primary current, resulting in a short circuit, or even damage the transformer.

[0003] Compared with traditional transformers, power electronic transformers are not only small in size and light in weight, but also can improve the quality of electric energy. They have good input and output characteristics under full load rated operation and harmonic pollution conditions. Therefore, they are receiving more and more attention in the power electronics industry, energy Internet, civil use and other fields that require safe electricity use.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the common power electronic transformer at present first converts the alternating voltage of the mains into direct current, and then forms an inverter through power switching devices and electronic components to convert the direct current into high-frequency alternating current, and outputs another form of alternating voltage through the action of the high-frequency transformer, and then performs level flipping after secondary rectification before supplying it to the electrical appliances. In this power electronic transformer with a DC link, since additional hardware components such as rectifier bridges and inverters are required, energy transmission involves multiple conversion stages and paths, and each conversion will consume a certain amount of energy, which restricts the conversion efficiency of the whole machine, and the overall complexity and cost of the system are relatively high.
