TLDR
A phase shifter circuit generates cycloconverter reference signals for independently and linearly controlling the real power and input power factor or real and reactive power in either polarity as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
A phase shifter circuit generates cycloconverter reference signals for independently and linearly controlling the real power and input power factor or real and reactive power in either polarity. Using the per phase line voltage as a reference phasor, its amplitude and phase are adjusted by a sine-cosine converter, analog multipliers and summing amplifiers. The phase shifter has an almost instantaneous response and can be controlled by polarity reversing dc control signals.read more
