A new approach for modeling line-commutated ac/dc/ac conversion systems is presented and discussed. It is based on the modulation function theory taking advantage of a two-step procedure in which two different models are used. The goal is to achieve a reduction of the computational burden with respect to the time domain models and better modeling accuracy with respect to classical modulation function approaches. The proposed model constitutes an attractive tool inside Monte Carlo simulations for the probabilistic analysis of harmonic and interharmonic distortion. Comparative tests validate the proposed method and demonstrate its computational efficiency and result accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
