2015) Three-phase ac-dc buckboost converter with a reduced number of switches. IET Renewable Power Generation, 9 (5). Abstract A single-switch, single-stage, three-phase, ac-dc buck-boost converter suitable for medium-voltage applications is proposed. Basic relations that govern steady-state converter operation are established, confirmed using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations, and substantiated experimentally. Simulation and experimental results establish that the proposed converter has good dynamic
