Buck power factor correction (PFC) converters, compared with conventional boost PFC converters, exhibit high efficiency performance in the entire range of universal line voltage. This feature has gotten more attention for eliminating the zero crossing dead angle of buck PFC rectifiers. Furthermore, bridgeless structures for the reduction of conduction losses have been proposed. The aim of this paper is to introduce a single-phase buck rectifier that simultaneously has unity power factor (PF) and bridgeless structure while operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM). For this purpose, two auxiliary flyback converters without any active switches are applied to a bridgeless buck rectifier to eliminate the zero crossing dead angle and achieve unity power factor, low total harmonic distortion (THD) and high efficiency. The operation and design considerations of the proposed rectifier are verified on a 150W, 48V prototype using a conventional peak-current-mode control. The measurement results show that the proposed rectifier has nearly unity power factor, THD less than 7% and high efficiency.

본 논문에서는 Buck Converter 동작 원리를 Full -Bridge Inverter에 적용한 전자식 안정기를 제안하였다. 전자식안정기는 EMI 필터, 수동 PFC, Full-Bridge Inverter로 2-stage로 구성되어 있다. PFC는 신뢰성 확보를 위해 수동 PFC를 사용하였다. Full-Bridge Inverter는 High Side와 Low Side 스위치의 구동 주파수를 각각 고주파와 저주파로 구동하여 Buck Converter의 동작을 구현 하였다. 램프를 저주파수 구형파로 구동하여 음향공명현상을 피하게 되었으며, 고주파수 스위칭으로 인덕터의 부피를 줄였다. 제안한 방법은 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 소프트 스위칭형 PFC 벅-부스트 AC-DC 컨버터에 대해 연구된다. 제안된 컨버터에 사용된 제어스위치의 턴-온과 턴-오프는 부분공진 동작에 의해 소프트 스위칭으로 되어 스위칭 손실을 줄이고, 입력전류는 듀티율 일정제어에 의한 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례된 불연속적 유사 펄스열의 정현파 형태를 가진다. 그 결과 컨버터는 효율이 증대되고 입력역률이 증대되는 효과를 가진다. 또한 제안된 컨버터의 출력전압은 제어스위치의 PWM 제어에 의해 조정되고 벅-부스트용 인덕터에 흐르는 전류는 불연속모드로 제어되어 제어회로와 제어기법이 간단한 장점이 주어진다. 제안된 PFC 벅-부스트 컨버터는 기존의 PFC 벅-부스트 컨버터와 비교되어 해석되고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 그 해석적 타당성이 입증된다.

The buck-boost converter is employed as the variable output PFC power stage. From the loss analysis, this topology has a high efficiency from light load to heavy load. A modified input current sensing scheme is presented to overcome the problem of the insufficient phase margin for the PFC circuit near the maximum output voltage. The variable output PFC circuit has a good performance in the wide output voltage range, under both the Boost mode when the output voltage is high and the Buck+Boost mode when the output voltage is low.

This paper presents two topologies for single-stage single-phase double-buck type PFC converters, designed to operate at high power factor, near sinusoidal input currents and adjustable output voltage. Unlike the known buck type PFC topologies, in which the output voltage is always lower than the maximum input voltage, the proposed converters can operate at output voltages higher than the ac input peak voltage. A reduced number of switches on the main path of the current are another characteristic of the two proposed topologies. To shape the input line currents, a fast and robust controller based on a sliding mode approach is proposed. This active non-linear control strategy, applied to these converters allows high quality input currents. A Proportional Integral (PI) controller is adopted to regulate the output voltage of the converters. This external voltage controller modulates the amplitude of the sinusoidal input current references. The performances of the presented rectifiers are verified with experimental results.

In this paper, a buck DC-DC bridge converter is used as a power factor correction (PFC) converter for feeding a voltage source inverter (VSI) based permanent magnet brushless DC motor (PMBLDCM) drive. The front end of the PFC converter is a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) fed from single phase AC mains. The PMBLDCM is used to drive the compressor of an air conditioner through a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) fed from a variable voltage DC link. The speed of the air conditioner is controlled to conserve energy using a new concept of voltage control at a DC link proportional to the desired speed of the PMBLDC motor. Therefore, VSI operates only as an electronic commutator of the PMBLDCM. The current of the PMBLDCM is controlled by setting the reference voltage at the DC link as a ramp. The proposed PMBLDCM drive with voltage control-based PFC converter was designed and modeled. The performance is simulated in Matlab-Simulink environment for an air conditioner compressor load driven through a 3.75 kW, 1500 rpm PMBLDC motor. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed speed control scheme, the evaluation results demonstrate improved efficiency of the complete drive with the PFC feature in a wide range of speed and input AC voltage.

The conventional Three-Stage electronic ballast is stable, but Two-Stage electronic ballast has been researching because of efficiency. Three-Stage electronic ballast is consisted of PFC circuit, buck converter, and inverter circuit, but Two-stage is consisted of PFC circuit, Buck-Inverter full bridge circuit. The Buck-Inverter full bridge inverter consists of two half bridge inverters for low frequency switching, and high frequency switching. In the case of street lamp it is far from a lamp to a ballast, the conventional pulsed high voltage ignitor can not turn on the HID lamps because of reduction of ignition voltage. Therefore, it needs to do the research on a resonant ignition to turn on the HID lamps. Therefore, in the Two-Stage electronic ballast which has the resonant tank for ignition, the transient resonant current because of low frequency changing is analyzed, the novel algorithm is proposed to resuce the transient current.

This paper presents the design considerations and analysis for an interleaved boundary conduction mode power factor correction buck converter. A thorough analysis of the harmonic content of the AC line current is presented to examine the allowable voltage gain (K value) for meeting the EN61000-3-2, Class D standard while maximizing efficiency. The results of the harmonic analysis are used to derive the required value of K and therefore the output voltage necessary to meet the class D requirements for a given AC line voltage. The discussed design consideration and harmonic current analysis are verified on a 300W universal line experimental prototype converter with an 80V output. The measured efficiencies remain above 96% down to 20% of the full load. The input current harmonics also meet the IEC61000-3-2 (class D) standard.
