can be used to make self-commutated converters. In such converters, the electric polarity of DC voltage is usually fixed and the DC voltage, being smoothed

commutated converters require voltage from the AC network for commutation, but since the late 1990s, voltage sourced converters have started to be used for

matrix converters Matrix converters (MC) AC voltage controllers There are two types of converters with DC link: Voltage-source inverter (VSI) converters (Fig

complete converter station may contain several such converters in series and/or parallel to achieve total system DC voltage ratings of up to 1,100 kV

A boost converter or step-up converter is a DC-to-DC converter that increases voltage, while decreasing current, from its input (supply) to its output
