A new single stage AC/DC converter with a high power factor is proposed. The proposed converter gives good power factor correction, low current harmonic distortions, and tight output regulations. This converter also has an high efficiency by employing Active-clamp method and synchronous rectifiers. To verify performances of the proposed converter, 90W-converter is designed. This prototype meets the IEC555-2 requirements satisfactorily with nearly unity power factor.

In this paper a control method to compensate the fluctuation in source voltage by using reactive current is presented. When the source voltage is changed within $\pm$10[%] range, the unit power factor is carried out. Otherwise, the converter is controlled by variable power factor. By using above control, the converter input voltage is maintained constantly. And then it was certified by simulation with the ACSL and several experiments.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.

A novel torque ripple reduction scheme of single-phase SRM with high power factor is presented. The proposed SRM drive has one additional active switches in the conventional asymmetric inverter. In order to get a higher power factor, the source current is controlled sinusoidal, And additional excitation current is added from charge capacitor due to torque ripple reduction. The switching period of source and charged voltage is controlled properly to get unity power factor and torque ripple reduction. The characteristics and validity of the proposed scheme is discussed with some simulation results.

It is very important to design the input filter optimally in matrix converters. But, the input power factor is deteriorated in spite of the optimal filter design due to the existence of inductor and capacitor included in the filter, and it is hard to keep high power factor in the whole operating range which is one of the major advantages of the matrix converters because the power factor is changed according to the output frequency and the load current. In this paper, we introduce the new space vector modulation method which can preserve the input power factor almost unity even though the output load or the output frequency is varied. It is also presented how to implement the proposed method effectively.

A strategy for a torque ripple reduction drive of single-phase SRM with high power factor is proposed. The drive for switched reluctance motor (SRM) is presented to achieve sinusoidal, near unity power factor input current with low torque ripple. The proposed SRM drive has no additional active switch. And a single-stage approach, which combines a DC link capacitor used as dc source and a drive used for driving the motor into one power stage, has a simple structure and low cost. The characteristics and validity of the proposed circuit is discussed in depth through the experimental results.
