Abstract

A new type power convertsion mode is structured by combineing switch power conversion mode with linear amplifica-tion mode, so as to acquire their integrated optimal performances. The theoretical analyses and experimental results are presented in this paper. They are proved that the new type converter can match many kinds of loads, including nonlinear loads, with strong robustness, good waveforms and high efficiency. Its application prospect in industry can be expected, particularly for the conditions where serious static and dynamic performances are required.
