Abstract

This paper dispenses the literature review of various structures and strategies employed for solving commutation problems in ac-ac converters, inverters, rectifiers and also derives new topologies for dc-dc converters. The topologies adopted employs coupled inductors and switching cell structure to rectify commutation problems without using snubber circuits and ensures safe commutation. The presented papers conveys the causes of commutation and the solution employed with their own boon and bane. The selection of suitable converter with low switching losses, no shoot-through problems, less  distortion, high quality desired waveforms, no dead-time issues are also important. Efforts have been taken to improve the authenticity and reduce the cost of converter. The appropriate power converter can be chosen depending on the application employed. Simulation results for some of the existing  and proposed topologies are shown in this paper.
