Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) is expected to replace conventional lamps including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps for some general illumination application, due to some obvious features such as high luminous efficiency, safety, long life, environment-friendly characteristics and so on. To drive the LED, a single stage PFC(Power Factor Correction) flyback converter has been adopted to satisfy the isolation, PFC and low cost. The conventional flyback LED driver has the serious disadvantage of high 120Hz output current ripple caused by the PFC operation. To overcome this drawback, a new PFC flyback with low 120Hz output current ripple is proposed in this paper. It is composed of 2 power stages, the DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) flyback converter for PFC and BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) boost converter for tightly regulated LED current. Since the link capacitor is located in the secondary side, its voltage stress is small. Moreover, since the driver is composed of 2 power stages, small output filter and link capacitor can be used. Especially, since the flyback is operated at DCM, the PFC can be automatically obtained and thus, an additional PFC IC is not necessary. Therefore, only one control IC for BCM boost converter is required. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.

The purpose of this paper is a study on the control of Power Factor Correction circuit by advanced average current control. The international standard organizations have made an effort to resolve these problems caused by the harmonics and announced the international standards for limiting the harmonic currents of the electrical devices and products. For improving power factor and reducing harmonics, many studies are progressed rapidly. In this study, we explain a method of an advanced average current control. And then, the performances of the PFC circuit applying a advanced average current control method are simulated and verified by Matlab/Simulink.

형광등용 전자식 안정기의 개발에 있어서, 최근 선전류 고조파 성분의 제한에 관한 여러 가지 규제를 만족시키기 위해 역률 개선 회로를 부가하는 것이 권장되고 있다. 일반적으로는 부스트 컨버터를 가장 많이 사용하고 있지만 전체 제품의 가격 상승 및 EMI 발생 등의 단점 때문에 설계에 있어서 상당한 제약을 받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 역률 개선을 수동소자로만 이용하여 전압원 및 전류원 방식의 공진형 인버터를 채택하는 형광등용 전자식 안정기를 저가격화, 고역률화하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

본 논문은 부스트 PFC (Power Factor Correction) 컨버터의 경부하시, 컨버터의 인덕터 전류 왜곡을 수학적으로 분석하고 원인을 정의한다. 경부하시 평균 전류 모드제어에서 인덕터 전류가 불연속적으로 도통하게 되어 부정확한 인덕터 전류 평균값이 전류 제어에 반영된다. 예측 전류 모드제어에서는 인덕터 전류에 비해 전류 리플이 상대적으로 커져 전류 왜곡이 심해진다. 또한 모델 예측 전류제어의 경우 인덕터 전류의 첨두치 부근에서 스위치가 OFF된다. 인덕터 전류 왜곡은 total harmonic distortion 증가와 역률 감소를 유발하기 때문에 반드시 해결되어야 한다. 본 논문은 수학적 분석을 기반으로 부스트 PFC 컨버터의 경부하시 전류 왜곡을 완화할 수 있는 설계 절차를 선정한다. 마지막으로 hardware-in-the-loop simulation을 사용하여 경부하시 제어 방법들을 비교분석했다.

This study proposes a high-performance current control algorithm for a diode-bridge-type single-phase boost power factor correction (PFC) converter. The conventional asynchronous single-phase current controllers that directly control AC-type current tend to be accompanied by steady-state errors due to their poor dynamic characteristics for the transient-state, which can be attributed to bandwidth limitations and phase delays. In the proposed algorithm, an ideal current control with minimal phase delays and steady-state errors can be achieved by using a virtual DQ synchronous reference frame and by controlling the synchronous reference frame excluding the frequency component in the single-phase system. The performance of the conventional asynchronous single-phase current controller is compared with that of the proposed algorithm through simulation and experiments, and the results have confirmed the superiority of the latter.

This paper proposes a new DC link voltage controller for a single-phase power factor correction (PFC) boost converter. The load current of the PFC boost converter affects the capacitor current, whereas the load current changes the output voltage. However, previous works that compensate output current have failed to consider the relationship between load current and duty. Thus, they also fail to maintain a constant output voltage if the load fluctuates under the conditions of a non-rated input voltage. By considering the duty in the load current compensation, the proposed method improves the load transient response regardless of the input voltage. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the proposed method is compared with other control methods by conducting PSM simulations and experiments under a rapidly changing load.

This paper proposes a power factor correction circuit with a high efficiency over a wide load range characteristics for a communication power supply. And the characteristic verification is applied to produce a design of prototype. Power factor correction circuit can reduce conduction losses by applying Bridgeless Boost Converter for efficiency. Over a wide load range to maintain the efficient, the control method of a PWM controller is divided by two sections according to the load area. In the low-load region, it was reduced switching losses by applying the critical conduction mode control method. On the other hand, in the heavy-load area, the hysteresis current control method is used to maintain the high efficiency over a wide load range by limiting the peak noise of the inductor.

A new single stage power factor correction(PFC) AC/DC converter based on zero voltage switching(ZVS) full bridge topology is proposed. Since the series-connected two transformers act as both output inductor and main transformer by turns, the proposed converter has a wide ZVS range without additional devices for ZVS. Furthermore, since there is no need to use an output inductor, the proposed converter features high power density. The proposed converter gives the good power factor correction and low line current harmonics distortion. A mode analysis and experiment results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed converter.

본 논문에서는 소프트 스위칭 방식의 부스트 회로를 이용한 역률 개선 회로를 새롭게 제안하였다. 제안한 역률개선 회로를 구성하는 내부 회로는 기존 PWM 부스트 회로와 전반적인 동작은 동일하며 단지 스위칭 순간에만 영전압 혹은 영전류 스위칭 동작을 하게 된다. 따라서 기존의 PWM 회로와 같이 제어가 용이할 뿐만 아니라 소프트 스위칭에 의한 고효율 성능을 얻게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 소프트 스위칭 회로를 이용하여 높은 효율을 가지는 역률 개선 회로를 체계적으로 설계하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 아울러 실험을 통하여 이러한 설계방법의 타당성과 제안한 역률 개선 회로의 우수성을 입증하였다.

According to the wide - spread use of rectifier in electronic equipments, such problems as electronic components failures or equipment disorders have been occurred due to current harmonics. To overcome these problems, power factor correction circuits employing boost converter have been used. The high switching stress of boost converter can be reduced by snubber circuit. Recently, research activities in snubber circuits have been directed to energy recovery snubber for improving the efficiency of power converter. In this study, a new passive snubber circuit which can recover trapped snubber energy without added control is proposed for boost converter. The control of boost converter with proposed snubber is the same as the conventional one. In addition, the energy recovery circuit can be implemented with a few passive components. The circuit operation is confirmed through simulation.
