In this paper, analysis and design of a novel single phase AC-DC CUK converter circuit has been proposed where Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller scheme has been used in order to obtain better performance than conventional converters. Closed loop technique is applied to the bridgeless converter in order to achieve low input current, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at input AC mains along with near unity power factor. Performance comparison between open loop and closed loop of the proposed converter is made without filtering. The problems arise with open loop is sufficiently minimized by using power factor correction controller. The performance comparison between proposed and conventional CUK AC-DC converter operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) is made based on circuit simulations using PSIM softwere.


This paper presents about the comparison between single-phase PFC Cuk converter and bridgeless PFC (BPFC) Cuk converter for low power application. This study attempts to investigate the characteristics of conventional and bridgeless PFC Cuk converter structures with three different output voltages and verified by the simulation results. The BPFC Cuk converter provides a lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of input current than the conventional PFC Cuk converter. However, the conventional PFC Cuk converter has advantage of less maximum current stress at components compared to the BPFC Cuk converter. Conventional and BPFC Cuk converter can achieve an approximately unity power factor (PF).


In this paper, a single switch single stage switched inductor based cuk converter with power factor correction control techniques is proposed. The main features of the proposed converter is low current stress, high voltage conversion ratio, reduction of components, high efficiency, low THD, etc., The operation of the proposed converter is explained in several modes along with the design of the converter. The performance of the proposed converter with different loads such as resistive, battery and motor loads with CC and CV control is analyzed and various factors such as power factor, efficiency and THD are compared. The Simulation work is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink software.

This paper proposes a novel high power factor LED driver based on SY5800A for interior-lighting applications. High power factor is achieved by using the transformer with back winding coil and the transformer with “sandwich” winding coil. In addition, the proposed driver features cost-effectiveness, high circuit efficiency, low input current ripples and a reduced components count. A sample driver is developed to supply a 15W LED interior-lighting module with a 0.99 power factor. Experimental results demonstrate the functionalities of the proposed circuit.
