This work focuses on the evaluation of active power filter which is controlled by fuzzy logic and neural network based controller for harmonic mitigation and power factor enhancement. The APF consists of a variable DC voltage source and a DC/AC inverter. The task of an APF is to make the line current waveform as close as possible to a sinusoid in phase with the line voltage by injecting the compensation current. The compensation current is estimated using adaptive neural network. Using the estimated current, the proposed APF is controlled using neural network and fuzzy logic. Computer simulations of the proposed APF are performed using MATLAB. The results show that the proposed techniques for the evaluation of APF can reduce the total harmonic distortion less than 3% and improve the power factor of the system to almost unity.

A new mode of parallel operation of a modular 3-phase AC-DC Flyback converter for high power factor correction along with tight regulation is presented in this thesis. The converter offers input/output transformer isolation for safety, a unity input power factor for minimum reactive power, high efficiency and high power density for minimum weight and volume. Compared with previously developed 3-phase two-stage power converter, the advantage of the proposed converter does not require expensive high voltage and high current devices that are normally needed in popular boost type 3-phase converter. In this paper, a detailed small signal analysis of the modular 3-phase AC-DC flyback converter is provided for control purposes and also experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analysis.

A new control method using average comparison strategy have been proposed in this paper. This control method realizes sinusoidal input and output current. unity input displacement factor regardless of load power factor. Moreover, compensation of the asymmetrical and/or harmonic containing input voltage is automatically realized, and calculation time of control function is reduced.

In this paper, a soft-switching discontinuous mode (DCM) power factor corrected (PFC) converter is analyzed by applying the double Fourier series expansion. It is found that the fundamental component and higher-order harmonics included in the input current waveform are obtained by the Fourier series expansion of the mean value of the inductor current. From the theoretical analysis, a new method removing the distortion of the input current waveform is proposed. In spite of an open loop system, the proposed method makes a great improvement of the total harmonic distortion even if the ratio of output voltage to input voltage is very low.

This paper presents a technique to reduce the low frequency ripple voltage of the dc output in a BIFRED converter with a small-sized energy storage capacitor. The proposed pulse width control method can be effectively used to suppress the low frequency ripple appeared in the dc output and still shows generally good performance such as low THD of input line current and high power factor. Using the small-sized energy storage capacitor, it has better merits of low cost and small size than a conventional BIFRED converter. The proposed technique is illustrated its validity and effectiveness through simulations.

This paper presents a novel single-stage Power Factor Corrected(PFC) AC/DC forward converter with semi-automatic current shaping in order to achieve the unity power factor and an isolated output. Since the proposed circuit is combined a boost converter used for PFCs with a forward converter used for DC to DC conversion, the over-all size of system could be reduced. And thanks to the zero voltage switching(ZVS) in both switches, the voltage stress can be reduced considerably. A simple auxiliary circuit adopted into the secondary of transformer is composed of lossless components for reducing surge voltage. A prototype which has tow IGBT(Insulated Gate Bypolar Transistor) modules as switching device is manufactured to evaluate the proposed topology. The characteristics of the proposed circuit are tested, and the validity is verified by experimental results.

이 논문은 이중 출력과 단일 역률 적용에 대한 하나의 전력단 회로를 사용한 새로운 정류기를 나타낸다. 제안된 정류기는 부스트와 플라이백 컨버터가 결합된 하나의 전력단 회로를 갖는 구조를 가지고 있고, PFC(power factor correction) 와 일정 출력 전압 제어를 동시에 수행한다. 따라서, 제안된 정류기는 전형적인 AC/DC 정류기들(멀티 권선을 갖는 플라이 백 정류기, 투 스테이지 방식을 사용한 부스트와 플라이백 컨버터가 결합된 정류기 등등)보다 낮은 비용과 작은 사이즈의 장점을 갖는다. 제안된 정류기 회로의 동자 원리는 본 논문에서 상세하게 기술 되어진다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 정류기의 타당성을 증명하였다.

Due to several advantages of Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) Converter, such as unity power factor operation, elimination of low-order harmonics and regeneration of motor braking energy to source, the application range of PWM Converter has been rapidly extended in industrial application.

Input filter is an essential component in a practical matrix converter (MC) system to generate the sinusoidal input currents. However, the input filter causes a displacement angle between the input current of MC and the source current. In this paper, we investigate the input filter design for MCs by considering the displacement angles of the input current and the input voltage to guarantee high input power factor (IPF) operation as well as low input current harmonic contents. Simulation results are provided to validate the input filter design with near unity input power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current.
