Abstract:
AC - AC power conversions were traditionally done by using thyristor power controllers, phase angle control or by
integral cycle control, but had low PF and other disadvantages. Variable voltage, variable frequency high power conversions
are nowadays use DC link and Matrix converters, with higher efficiency and better regulation. But in situations where only
voltage regulation is required and the circuit need to be simple and less complicated, directed PWM AC-AC converters are
more preferred, due to reduced size and components. This project presents the design and simulation of a new type of AC-AC
converter which can operate as traditional non-inverting buck and boost converters, and inverting buck-boost converter as
well. This converter uses six unidirectional current flowing and bidirectional voltage blocking switches, implemented by six
reverse blocking IGBTs or series MOSFET-diode pairs, two input and output filter capacitors, and one inductor. It has no
shoot-through problem of voltage source (or capacitor) even when all switches are turned-on and therefore; PWM dead times
are not needed resulting in high quality waveforms, and solves the commutation problem without using bulky and lossy RC
snubbers or dedicated soft-commutation strategies. It has smaller switching losses because; only two switches out of six are
switched at high frequency during each half cycle of input voltage, and it can use power MOSFETs as body diode never
conducts, making it immune from MOSFET failure risk..

INTRODUCTION
Traditionally in industry, the ac-ac power conversions
are performed by using ac thyristor power controllers,
which use the phase angle or integral cycle control on
input ac voltage, to get the desired output ac voltage.
However, the obvious disadvantages of ac thyristor
controllers such as low power factor, large total
harmonic distortion in source current and lower
efficiency, have limited their use [3]. For ac-ac power
conversions with variable frequency and voltage, the
use of indirect ac-ac converters with dc-link ,and
matrix converters have been advanced because they
can obtain better power factor and efficiency, and
smaller filter requirements. However, for applications
in which only voltage regulation is needed, the direct
PWM ac-ac
converters All of these direct PWM AC - AC
converters in are obtained from their dc-dc
counterparts, where all

Operating principle
The PWM switching sequence of the
converter during non-inverting buck mode
operation and key waveforms are shown in
Figure 4.The modes of operations include
a. Postive Cycle
Figure 5 shows operation circuit Positive half of input
ac voltage (vin > 0 ), switches S1 S3 S6 are always
turn on and S4 S5, are always turn off, while switch
S2 is switched at high frequency. Fig.3.3 shows the
equivalent circuits of the proposed converter for vin >
0.
b. Negative Cycle
During (1 - D )T interval as shown in Fig.6(b), switch
S2 is turned off whileS1 conducts in this interval as its
series diode becomes forward biased due to
freewheeling action of inductor L current. Energy
stored in inductor is released to load in this interval.
