Generally, the single-stage power factor corrected converter has a problem of high dc link voltage. In the case of high line voltage, especially, the dc link voltage is verb high under the light load condition. To solve this problem, a new single stage power factor corrected AC/DC converter has been proposed. The proposed converter has huck topology as a power factor corrector. To prove feasibility of the proposed converter, the design example of the proposed converter has been presented. The design considerations and experimental results for the proposed converter have been shown. The experimental results show that the line input current harmonics can meet IEC1000-3-2 Class D requirements for the range of line input voltage from 90Vrms to 260Vrms.

In this paper, we realize the active PFC(Power Factor Correction) system of BF (Boost Forward) converter with PWM-PFM control technique to control DC output voltage, and to control the input current with sinusoidal wave synchronized by the converter and inverter using power switching element, FET and IGBT. The control circuit of the suggested Boost converter is implemented with a microprocessor 80C196. After making the ratio of output voltage to current as 50V/1A and the duty ratio greater than 0.5. When input voltage is 30V and boost inductance is 1.1mH. We control the voltage changing rate according to the variation of load resistance using a PWM-PFM control technique. And finally we prove experimentally. PF can be improved up to 0.96 using the current shaping technique.

This paper investigates operating characteristics of three-phase matrix converter with unity input power factor by direct duty-ratio pulse-width modulation in the case of balanced and unbalanced load. It can be found from the system analysis that (1) The control algorithm for unity power factor is not related to the variables of load sides but the input voltages, (2) With the balanced three-phase load except for the pure reactive load, the unity input power factor can be achieved, (3) In the case of the unbalanced linear load, the equivalent input characteristics of the matrix converter can be seen like the nonlinear resister, (4) When the input frequency and the output frequency have the specific relationship, each input phases have the same sharing of the average power. The feasibility and validity of the analysis were verified by simulation and experimental results.

본 논문은 HVDC용 크라프트 절연지의 기본 전기적 특성평가를 목적으로 온도별 역률의 변화, 절연저항 및 임펄스 절연파괴강도 등을 측정한 결과이다. 온도에 따른 크라프트 절연지의 역률은 $50{\sim}70^{\circ}C$에서 최소 값을 나타내었으며, 밀도가 낮은 시료일수록 낮은 역률을 나타내었다. 하지만, 임펄스 절연파괴 강도는 밀도가 낮을수록 저하되는 특성을 나타내어 적절한 밀도의 선정이 필요하다는 사실을 알았다. 또한, 온도 및 인가 전계에 따른 절연저항을 측정하여 크라프트 절연지의 온도상수 및 전계상수를 측정한 결과, 온도상수 ${\alpha}$는 $0.09{\sim}0.1^{\circ}C^{-1}$, 전계상수는 약 1.5을 얻었다. 이는 HVDC용 케이블의 설계 시 절연체의 전계분포 및 두께 산정에 기본적인 데이터를 제공할 수 있다.

In this paper, interleaved boost converter is applied as a pre-regulator in switched mode power supply. The pre-regulator plays a role to improve power factor. Interleaved Boost Power Factor Corrector(IBPFC) can reduce input current ripple as a single voltage control loop only without inner current loop, because input current is divided each 50% by two switching devices. Each converter cell is also operated in discontinuous current mode and inductor current of each converter is discontinuous. Total input current which is composed by each converter cell is continuous current. Thus, IBPFC is able to improve input current ripple. IBPFC operating in discontinuous current mode can be classified as six modes from switching state and be carried out state space averaging small signal modeling. A control transfer function is obtained according to the modeling. Single voltage control loop is also constructed by the control transfer function. From experimental result, improvement of power factor and input current ripple are verified.

This paper proposes a variable passive harmonic filter for reduction and improvement of harmonics and power factor of single-phase uninterruptible power supply(UPS) with full bridge rectifier. Recently, UPSs have excellent harmonic and power factor operation characteristics by applying 2-level or more levels of power conversion methods. On the other hand, the single-phase UPS of the full bridge rectifier seriously causes the third, fifth, and seventh harmonics, and the power factor reduction on the grid side. Therefore, we present a variable passive harmonic filter for eliminating (2n+1) order harmonics and improving the power factor generated by the full bridge rectifier operation. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed variable harmonic filter, the its validity is verified by various simulations and experiments.

This paper describes to control system for AC to DC converter which has been widely used to power source in industrial factory and domestics. In this paper, three-phase PWM AC to DC Boost converter that operates with unity power factor and sinusodial input line currents is presented. The current control of this converter is based on the predicted current control strategy with fixed switching frequency and the line currents track to reference currents within one sampling time interval. By using this control strategy low ripples in the output current and the voltage as well as fast dynamic response are achieved with small dc link capacitance employed.ployed.
