Abstract

In this paper a new high performance three-phase boost-type voltage regulator
is proposed. A control strategy, that provides regulated ac output voltage with low hy￾monic contents is suggested. The new boost regulator has nearly unity input power factor
for a change in the load voltage up to 200% of the supply voltage. The four-quadrant
nature of the proposed regulator enables it to accept reactive loads. Theoretical analysis
and hardware implementation are developed. The results show the efficacy of the pro￾posed regulator.
