The switching control of a bidirectional AC/DC converter by Neural Networks is proposed in this
paper. With this neural network application, an AC/DC converter has advantages such as quick
switching response, simpler structure and better output waveform. The converter can be modified by
a PWM rectifier switching state or predictive state observer and controller such as artificial
intelligence based one to avoid time-delays causing transient conditions. The obtaining method of
the circuit is given. The simulation of switching conditions is shown. To confirm the approximation
and the operation by detecting and reducing line harmonic currents, the theoretical results and
computer simulations are given.
