This paper proposes a novel and cost-effective drive circuit for supplying a piezoelectric ceramic actuator, which combines a dual boost AC-DC converter with a coupled inductor and a half-bridge resonant DC-AC inverter into a single-stage architecture with power-factor-correction (PFC) and soft-switching characteristics. The coupled inductor of the dual boost AC-DC converter sub-circuit is designed to work in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), so the PFC function can be realized in the proposed drive circuit. The resonant tank of the half-bridge resonant inverter sub-circuit is designed as an inductive load, so that the two power switches in the presented drive circuit can achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) characteristics. A 50W-rated prototype drive circuit providing a piezoelectric ceramic actuator has been successfully implemented in this paper. From the experimental results at 110V input utility-line voltage, the drive circuit has the characteristics of high power factor and low input current total-harmonic-distortion factor, and two power switches have ZVS characteristics. Therefore, satisfactory outcomes from measured results prove the function of the proposed drive circuit.

In the present technological revolution power is very precious. So we need to find out the causes of power loss and improve the power system. Due to industrialization the use of inductive load increases and hence power system losses its efficiency. So we need to improve the power factor with a suitable method of automatic power factor correction. This study undertakes the design and simulation of an automatic power factor correction that is developed using arduino microcontroller ATmega328 Automatic power factor correction device reads power factor from line voltage and line current. This time values are then calibrated as phase angle and corresponding power factor. The display used was 4X16 liquid crystal display module. The motherboard calculates the compensation requirement and accordingly switches on different capacitor banks will run. This automatic power factor correction technique can be applied to the industries, power systems and also households to make them stable and due to that the system becomes stable and efficiency of the system as well as the apparatus increases. The use of microcontroller reduces the costs and the customers become beneficial according to the simulated output because the power factor of the specific selected industry is corrected from 0.66 to 0.92 improved value.

Power Factor Correction (PFC) is an essential feature of many AC/DC Power Electronics products. The issue of increasing the value of the Power Factor (PF) and increasing efficiency of transferring the power in such applications motivated this work. The integrated circuit NCP1014 was used to implement hardware of 20 W Discontinuous Conduction  Modes Power Factor Correction  (DCMPFC) prototype to be suitable to applications that require good performance, small size, low cost and high efficiency.In this work, a known inductive load is used, and measured the power factor with and without the proposed correction circuit, the results showed an improvement of the power factor up to 40%.The presented results that have been tested in this paper were implemented in a laboratory to show the effectiveness of the proposed system.
