본 논문에서는 THD 개선을 위한 단순한 구조의 단일 단 PFC를 제안하고 벅 컨버터에 적용하였다. 제안한 회로는 밸리-필 정류회로와 부스팅을 위한 인덕터를 결합하여 단일 능동 소자로 DC/DC 변환 과 PFC를 동시에 수행한다. 제안된 회로에서의 입력전류 모양은 입력전압조건과 PWM 스위칭 시간에 관계되고, 부스팅 인덕터에 의해 능동스위치 차단시간동안 입력 전류를 제어하여 THD를 개선한다. 부스팅 인덕터 채용에 따른 동작해석과 최적 THD를 위한 인덕터를 선정하고 100W출력 단일 단 컨버터를 설계, 제작하였다. 실험에 의한 측정된 결과로 제안된 컨버터의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A method for improving current THD of Valley-fill rectifier is proposed in this paper. The proposed topology combines a boosting inductor with Valley-fill rectifier which carry out AC/DC conversion and PFC simultaneously The boosting effect by PWM switching makes low THD current and improve of Valley-fill rectifier. The operation modes and THD of input current are analyzed as applied the boosting inductor, and the optimum value of boosting inductor is determined A 100[W] single-stage converter has been designed and tested. Experimental results are resented to verify the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, a method is proposed to improve power factor and the input current THD in LED driver circuit. The researched circuit consists of a valley-fill circuit and boosting inductor and a Buck converter. Valley-fill circuit is a passive PFC and simplified structure, the buck converter is operated with current feedback. The switching frequency is 50KHz in LED driver circuit and LED forward current is constant. A valley-fill type PFC circuit for LED driver(15Watt) has been implemented, and the validity of proposed method is shown by is simulation and experimental result.
