Now day’s the power factor has become a major problem in power system to improve the power quality of the grid, as power factor is affected on the grid due to the nonlinear loads connected to it. Single phase bridgeless AC/DC power factor correction (PFC) topology to improve the power factor as well as the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the utility grid is proposed. By removing the input bridge in conventional PFC converters, the control circuit is simplified; the total harmonics distortion (THD) and power factor (PF) are improved. The PI controller operates in two loops one is the outer control loop which calculates the reference current through LC filter and signal processing. Inner current loop generates PWM switching signals through the PI controller. The output of the proposed PFC topology is verified for prototype using MATLAB circuit simulations. The experimental system is developed, and the simulation results are obtained.

This paper designs a novel single phase high power factor rectifier with IR1150 as its main control chip, which main circuit uses boost topology. The fundamental principle of the proposed rectifier is introduced. The IR1150 control IC based on one cycle control is intended for boost converters for power factor correction operating at a fixed frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The use of the IC will make the PFC circuit design easily, the volume of the rectifier small and the efficiency enhancing. The modules of the proposed rectifier such as current loop and over-current protection, voltage loop and over-voltage protection, soft start, and so on, are analyzed and designed respectively in detail. Experimental results of the designed 600W prototype prove that the boost high power factor rectifier designed is rational and reliable, its power factor can reach 0.994.

Power factor correction (PFC) is an effective method to reduce harmonic current in power grid. A novel boost high power factor rectifier with UCC28019 is proposed. The UCC28019 8-pin active Power Factor Correction controller uses the boost topology operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM). It does not need multipliers. The use of the IC will make the PFC circuit design easily and the volume of the rectifier small. The fundamental principle of the proposed rectifier is introduced. Its sections such as current loop and over-current protection, voltage loop and over-voltage protection, and so on, are analyzed and designed respectively in detail. Experimental results of the designed 350W prototype prove that the boost high power factor rectifier is rational and reliable, its power factor can reach 0.992, and its application prospect is wide.

This paper presents a single chip FPGA (Altera Cyclone II) controlled single phase inverter, programmed for the reduction of harmonics in the output voltage. Separate composite digital observers have been designed for extracting the fundamental and harmonic components of the voltage and the highly distorted current signals, particularly when the inverter supplies nonlinear loads. These observers have been embedded into the FPGA along with the controllers and I/O interfaces. The multiple observers yield very pure in-phase and quadrature voltage signals for use in the outer loop and similar signals for stabilizing the inner current loop. The Inverter could be modeled as a feed back control system with the fundamental component of the voltage as the desired output while the voltage harmonics take the role of noise creeping into the output. To obtain a very low total harmonic distortion in the voltage waveform, the well-known control strategy of using a very large feed back around the noise signal has been employed.

High Power Factor

A novel single-switch single-stage high power factor LED driver is proposed by integrating a flyback converter, a buck–boost converter and a current balance circuit. Only an active switch and a corresponding control circuit are used. The LED power can be adjusted by the control scheme of pulse–width modulation (PWM). The flyback converter performs the function of power factor correction (PFC), which is operated at discontinuous-current mode (DCM) to achieve unity power factor and low total current harmonic distortion (THDi). The buck–boost converter regulates the dc-link voltage to obtain smooth dc voltage for the LED. The current–balance circuit applies the principle of ampere-second balance of capacitors to obtain equal current in each LED string. The steady-state analyses for different operation modes is provided, and the mathematical equations for designing component parameters are conducted. Finally, a 90-W prototype circuit with three LED strings was built and tested. Experimental results show that the current in each LED string is indeed consistent. High power factor and low THDi can be achieved. LED power is regulated from 100% to 25% rated power. Satisfactory performance has proved the feasibility of this circuit.

Future Direction

The hybrid three-phase rectifiers (HTR) consist of parallel associations of two rectifiers (rectifier 1 and rectifier 2), each one of them with a distinct operation, while the sum of their input currents forms a sinusoidal or multilevel waveform. In general, rectifier 1 is a GRAETZ (full bridge) (can be combined with a BOOST converter) and rectifier 2 is combined with a DC-DC converter. In this HTR contest, this paper is intended to answer some important questions about those hybrid rectifiers. To obtain the correct answers, the study is conducted as an analysis of a systematic literature review. Thus, a search was carried out in the databases, mostly IEEE and IET, and 34 papers were selected as the best corresponding to the HTR theme. It is observed that the preferred form of power distribution in unidirectional hybrid three-phase rectifiers (UHTR) is 55%Po (rectifier 1) and 45%Po (rectifier 2). For the bidirectional hybrid three-phase rectifiers (BHTR), rectifier 1 preferably takes 90% of Po and 10% of Po is processed by rectifier 2. It is also observed that the UHTR that employ the single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) or VIENNA converter topologies in rectifier 2 can present sinusoidal input currents with low total harmonic distortion (THD) and high Power Factor (PF), even successfully complying with the international standards. The same can be said about the rectifier that employs a pulse-width (PWM) converter of BOOST topology in rectifier 2. In short, the HTR are interesting because they allow using the GRAETZ full bridge topology in rectifier 1, thus taking advantage of its characteristics, being simple, robust, and reliable. At the same time, the advantages of rectifier 2, i.e., high PF and low THD, are well used. In addition, this article also points out the future direction of research that is still unexplored in the literature, thus giving opportunities for future innovation.
