	Recent Technology of Power Converter system for Utility Power Line Interface
	Investigating R&D Committee on Power Converter system for Utility Power Line Interface
	Keyword : AC-DC, Industrial
	A lot of researches have been done about the power converters which apply the static power conversion technology in variety power-supply systems that interface with the AC power supply so far. Recently, to satisfy the specialized demand of each industrial field (cost, reliability, and environment, etc.), original component technology has been developed. Even if it is the same component technology, it is different usability according to application field. The technology is subdivided on each application field because of developing the converter technology separately. The technological information exchange between each field might be lost, and the efficiency of the research and development might decrease. To prevent this problem, the technological investigations already have done, and the reports have been issued two times. I It is necessary to investigate continuously the technological information in the field which has not been investigated yet and in field where the development speed is faster. This committee has to investigate a technological trend about each application field, aiming to contribute to the development of next generation's static power conversion technology. Additionally, it is necessary to clarify a useful technology also in other fields and technology which becomes common base from the investigation results. The committee investigated a recent technological trend of each application field for the power supply systems which consist of DC-DC converters and DC-AC converters interfacing with the utility line, from November 2010 to October, 2012. The committee had 12 times meetings once every two months, and had discussed contents of investigation reports to understand them deeply. In addition, the committee arranged and classified contents in each demand performance, crossing application field. And, component technologies were considered to apply to the other fields. Finally, these results are concluded and issued as the technical report.
