  • Abstract:
  • A new type of transformer based on Power Electronics (PET), which realizes voltage transformation, galvanic isolation, and power quality improvements in a single device. The PET provides a fundamentally different and more complete approach in transformer design by using power electronics on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. Several features such as instantaneous voltage regulation, voltage sag compensation and power factor correction can be combined into PET. In the design process, the AC/DC, DC/AC, AC/AC converters and high frequency transformer have been used. One matrix converter operates as AC/AC converter in power electronic transformer. The designed power electronic transformer performs typical functions and has advantages such as power factor correction, voltage sag and swell elimination, voltage flicker reduction and protection capability in fault situations. The proposed power electronic transformer has been modeled using MATLAB/ SIMULINK and Power quality improvement with proposed model will be verified by the simulation results.
