One-cycle controlled power inverters

One Cycle control is a technique matching many features that are typical of the linear control methods with some others that characterise high performances non-linear control approaches. Indeed, it ensures a constant switching frequency with a high promptness and noise rejection. The One Cycle control technique has recently found applications in many fields related to the renewable energies and to the power factor control, so that the customers’ interest is increasing. In this chapter the basic elements of the One Cycle control technique are reviewed and some issues related to its wide applications are discussed. A special emphasis is given to the DC/AC single-phase conversion.
