This paper presents the on -line techniques of SHE-PvVII for GTO current source converter. The look-up t table is linearized with this proposed method so that the tum-on/off periods of the GTO switches can be c computed in real-time for any modulation index. This allows the rapid and continuous regulation of the DC O output current while producing the sinusoidal AC input current waveform and unity power factor. The l linearized S}lE-PW~I technique and the high power factor control scheme are Prolxlsed and their‘ performance i is tested analytically. The validity of this proposed technique is well verified through the simulation and e experimental results.
