In this paper, we have researched a Automatic Power Factor Correction and THD reduction System for the multiple connection of CFL. Also in this paper, the power factor has been researched for the design of CFL, found the reason why the power factor is low and THD is too high. This paper has designed the PFC System for the multiple connection of CFL, and then we have increased the power factor and reduced the total harmonic distortion, by implementing them.

In a single-phase power factor correction (PFC), the standard cascaded control algorithm using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller has two main drawbacks: an inability to track sinusoidal current reference and low harmonic compensation capability. These drawbacks cause poor power factor and high harmonics in grid current. To improve these drawbacks, this paper uses a proportional-integral-derivative-resonant (PIDR) controller which combines a type-III PID with proportional-resonant (PR) controllers in the PFC. Based on a small signal model of the PFC, the type-III PID controller was implemented taking into account the bandwidth and phase margin of the PFC system. To adopt the PR controllers, the spectrum of inductor current of the PFC was analyzed in frequency domain. The hybrid PIDR controller were simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC and implemented on a 3 kW PFC prototype hardware. The performance results of the hybrid PIDR controller were compared with those of an individual type-III PID controller. Both controllers were implemented successfully in the single-phase PFC. The total harmonic distortion of the proposed controller were much better than those of the individual type-III PID controller.

본 논문은 고효율 및 고전력밀도 3-레벨 PFC(Power Factor Correction) 컨버터를 제안한다. 기존 PFC의 고 전력밀도를 위한 스위칭 주파수 상승은 스위칭 특성이 우수한 소자를 적용하거나, 별도의 스너버 회로가 요구되므로 설계가 복잡하며 고전력밀도 달성에 한계가 있다. 제안 PFC 컨버터는 3-레벨 방식을 적용하여 각 스위칭 소자의 전압 스트레스를 절반으로 감소시켰으며, 스위치 손실 저감을 통한 고속 스위칭 동작으로 리액티브 소자의 고밀도화를 달성하였다. 또한, 기존의 3-레벨방식은 디지털 제어를 통해 스위칭 소자의 전압 평형이 이루어졌지만, 본 논문에서는 아날로그 IC에 전압 평형을 위한 RC Delay 회로와 소수의 SMD(Surface-mount devices) 소자만을 이용하여 별도의 제어회로 없이 전압 평형이 가능하므로 고 전력밀도 달성에 유리하다. 제안회로의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 CRM(Critical conduction mode) PFC 컨버터를 기반으로 250W급 시작품 제작을 통한 실험 결과를 제시한다.

An interleaved boost converter has many advantages such as current ripple reduction, switching effective double, etc. Due to these advantages, the interleaved boost converter applies to the power factor correction circuit. However, there are almost no analysis results because the input voltage and current are time-varying system in the power factor correction application. Therefore, in this paper, the current ripples of the power factor correction circuit using single-phase boost dc-dc converter and 2-phase interleaved boost dc-dc converter are compared and analyzed in detail. In order to verify the validity, computer simulation and experimental are performed.

This paper presents a new single phase front-end ac-dc bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) rectifier topology. The proposed converter achieves a high efficiency over a wide range of input and output voltages, a high power factor, low line current harmonics and both step up and step down voltage conversions. This topology is based on a non-inverting buck-boost (Zeta) converter. In this approach, the input diode bridge is removed and a maximum of one diode conducts in a complete switching period. This reduces the conduction losses and the thermal stresses on the switches when compare to existing PFC topologies. Inherent power factor correction is achieved by operating the converter in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) which leads to a simplified control circuit. The characteristics of the proposed design, principles of operation, steady state operation analysis, and control structure are described in this paper. An experimental prototype has been built to demonstrate the feasibility of the new converter. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the improved power quality at the AC mains and the lower conduction losses of the converter.

This paper presents the digital controller using variable gain for single-phase power factor correction (PFC) converter. Generally, the gain of inner current control loop in single-stage PFC converter has a constant magnitude. This is why input current is distorted under low input voltage. In particular, a digital controller has more time delay than an analog controller which degrades characteristics of control loop. So, it causes the problem that the gain of current control loop isn't increased enough. In addition, the oscillation happens in the peak value of the input voltage open loop PFC system gain changes according to ac input voltage. These aspects make the design of the digital PFC controller difficult. In this paper, the improved digital control method for single-phase power factor converter is presented. The variable gain according to input voltage and input current help to improve current shape. The 800W converter is manufactured to verify the proposed control method.
