Abstract

The concept of loss-free complex impedance network elements (i.e., elements with active and reactive impedance components and yet loss-free) is introduced. Synthesis of such elements by means of switched-mode power converters with appropriate control has been demonstrated to be possible. Some possible power processing-related applications of these elements are indicated, such as improved matching between ac sources and loads and VAR compensation. It has further been demonstrated that loss-free complex impedance elements are suitable for modeling many power processing systems for the purpose of analysis as well as for design purposes.
