Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR)
Eduardo Félix Ribeiro Romaneli received the B.S. degree, and the Master’s and Doctorate degrees in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil, in 1993, 1998, and 2001, respectively. Since 2003, he has been a Full-Time Professor at the Federal University of Technology - Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil. His research has spanned a several disciplines, emphasizing power electronics. His current research interests are focused but not restricted to uninterruptible power system (UPS), power-factor correction and renewable energies.
Abstract
This paper presents an AC-AC Buck converter in which a modulation technique was applied in order to reduce losses due to dissipative snubbers. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation were performed. A 100W prototype was... [ view full abstract ]
