AC-AC Voltage Regulator Conditioning Converter with Three Control Schemes

In this paper, a comparative study of modified phase-angle, extinction-angle, and pulse width modulation control techniques for the purpose of power factor improvement of single-phase AC-AC voltage regulators have been illustrated as applied to a single- phase ac voltage converter by an example of the widely used single-phase induction motor as a dynamic load. Observations on power factor, displacement factor and total harmonic distortion factor are described and discussed on the basis of the simulated and measured results of this work.
