Previous AC/DC PFC Boost Converter perceives feed forward signal of input and feedback signal of output for average current-mode control. Previous Boost Converter, the quantity of input current will be decreased by the decrease of output current in light load, and also power factor comes to be decreased. Also the efficiency of converter will be decreased by the decrease of power factor. The proposed converter presents the good PFC(Power Factor Correction), low line current hormonic distortions and tight output voltage regulations using non-dissipative snubber. The proposed converter also has a high efficiency by non-dissipative snubber circuit. To show the superiority of this converter is verified through the experiment with a 640W, 100kHz prototype converter.

A bidirectional dual active converter with the power factor control capability is proposed as a battery charger. The source side half-bridge acts as a PWM converter that maintains the unity power factor. The battery side half-bridge converter acts as a dual active bridge (DAB) together shares the same DC link voltage with PWM converter. The imbalance voltage phenomenon is eliminated by employing asymmetric duty cycle technique. Simulation results are included to verify theoretical analysis.

A conventional Single-Stage Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) AC/DC converter has a link capacitor voltage problem under high line input and low load conditions. In this paper, this problem is analyzed by using the voltage conversion ratio of the DC/DC conversion cell. By applying this analysis, a new Single-Stage PFC AC/DC converter with a boost PFC cell integrated with a Voltage-Doubler Rectified Asymmetrical Half-Bridge (VDRAHB) is proposed. The proposed converter features good power factor correction, low current harmonic distortions, tight output regulations and low voltage of the link capacitor. An 85W prototype was implemented to show that it meets harmonic requirements and standards satisfactorily with near unity power factor and high efficiency over universal input.

Switched relutance motor(SRM) has the advantages of simple structure, low rotor intertia, and high power rate per unit volume. However, SRM has the disadvantages of high current harmonics, and low power factor because of the discontinuous excitation of pulse type. The harmonics brings about the distortion and loss of power system, and brings about the incorrect opertion of electronic system. This paper investigates the SRM drive system with the reduced harmonics and improved power factor. The system consists of the switching power converter with poewr factor correction(SPC-PFC), DC/DC converter and 3-phase inverter. The performances in the proposed system are verified through the simpuation and experiment.

At an operating point of the induction motor, there are many sets of stator frequency and voltage. This paper presents an algorithm to determine the stator frequency and voltage which maximizes the power factor without any informations of motor parameters. Improvement of efficiency us also expected due to high-power-factor operation.

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.

In this paper, a three-phase AC-DC high step-up converter is developed for application to microscale wind-power generation systems. Such an AC-DC boost converter prossessess the property of the single-switch high step-up DC-DC structure. For power factor correction, the advanced half-stage converter is operated under the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Simulatanously, to achieve a high step-up voltage gain, the back half-stage functions in the continuous conduction mode (CCM). A high voltage gain can be obtained by use of an output-capacitor mass and a coupled inductor. Compared to the output voltage, the voltage stress is decreased on the switch. To lessen the conducting losses, a low rated voltage and small conductive resistance MOSFETs are adopted. In addition, the coupled inductor retrieves the leakage-inductor energy. The operation principle and steady-state behavior are analyzed, and a prototype hardware circuit is realized to verify the performance of the proposed converter.
