This paper deals with PFC-isolated Zeta converter fed LED drive to overcome the power factor problems. The proposed circuit topology consists of diode bridge rectifier and isolated Zeta converter with high frequency transformer. A single –phase supply is used to feed a DBR followed by a filter to avoid any switching ripple in DBR and the supply system. An isolated Zeta converter is operated to work under DCM mode. This combination of DBR and PFC converter is used to feed a LED drive. This converter is simulated in MATLAB platform. This converter provides better results such as unity power factor and less current harmonic distortion.

This paper presents a new single-stage single-switched forward converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber, which gives good power factor correction (PFC), low current harmonic distortion, and tight output voltage regulation. The proposed converter features low switch current and voltage stresses, essential for the design of a single-stage power factor correction converter. The prototype shows that the IEC1000-3-2 requirements are met satisfactorily with nearly unity power factor. This proposed converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber is particularly suited for power supply applications with low power level.

<p>It is well-known that attainable DC link voltage loop bandwidth in grid-connected converters operating with unity power factor is limited due to trade-off with AC-side current total harmonic distortion (THD). The letter reveals that THD requirement directly imposes the value of voltage loop gain magnitude at double-grid frequency; therefore the dynamic performance may be improved without deteriorating the grid-side current quality by modifying the controller structure such that the loop gain magnitude at double-grid frequency and the crossover frequency are decoupled. Experimental results validate the revealed findings.</p>

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).

Harmonic Resonance

In this paper, the perfect harmonic cancellation (PHC), unity power factor (UPF) control strategies of distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) are compared along with a newly proposed control strategy. In the proposed strategy, to get the best power factor, the conductance factors for the compensated load are evaluated for a specified source current total harmonic distortion (THD) limit. The performance of this method along with perfect harmonic cancellation (PHC) and unity power factor (UPF) strategies is evaluated on a distribution system model developed using PSCAD 4.2.1. In the distribution system, harmonic resonance is one of the prime factors for the harmonic propagation. Hence, in damping the harmonic resonance, selection of an appropriate control strategy for the DSTATCOM is crucial and this is verified with a detailed study. The simulation results are presented to show the performance of these strategies in load compensation and damping the harmonic propagation in the distribution system.

Euler-Lagrange (Euler-Lagrange, EL) mathematical model was established according to the topology of TNPC (T-type Neutral Point Clamped) PV grid-connected inverter. Based on the mathematical models and passivity-based control theory, the approach called injecting damping was adopted to design the passivity-based controller of the inverter. The passivity-based controller can decoupled-qaxis current at AC side of the grid and achieve unity power factor, the total harmonic distortion of grid-connected current is low, and the passivity-based controller also make the inverter have good dynamic and static performances. Simulation results show that the designed passive controller of TNPC PV grid-connected inverter is feasible.
