AC to AC power converters are static systems using solid-state switching devices that directly convert ac power of a given frequency to ac power of some desired frequency. They are used to link ac power systems of different frequencies, to provide variable power frequency supplies for ac motor drives, and to generate constant frequency power from the output of variable-speed ac generators. AC/AC converters can be categorized into 1) Converters with a DC-link 2) Cycloconverters 3) Hybrid Matrix Converters 4) Matrix Converters. This paper includes the Study & Simulation of AC to AC converter with DC link subsequently the hardware design of single phase AC to AC converter, the topology comprises double power conversions viz. AC to DC and DC to AC conversion. Also, Power topology is simulated in PSIM 9.0 with PWM Generation using PIC micro-controller is discussed.

Keywords- AC/AC Converter, SPWM (Sine Pulse Width Modulation). Index Terms—Component, formatting, style, styling, insert.
