A new small-signal model for the controlled on-time boost Power factor correction (PFC) circuit is Presented. The proposed small-signal model is valid up to high frequencies ever 1kHz. IF to remove the low-frequency ripple from the output a 120Hz notch filter is used the proposed model can be used for the control design of the PFC circuit to improve the dynamics of the output voltage. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by comparing the experimental results with the simulational result.

기존의 역률 보상 회로(PFC 회로)는 저전압 입력 시에 정류 다이오드의 도통손실 증가로 인해 효율 상승에 제약을 받는다. Bridgeless PFC 컨버터는 입력 측의 정류 다이오드 없이 능동 스위치가 정류 동작을 수행하도록 하여 더 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고효율을 위한 새로운 절연형 bridgeless PFC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 회로는 입력단의 정류 다이오드를 제거함으로써 도통 손실을 줄여 효율 향상을 꾀하였다. 또한 변압기를 사용하여 입출력 전압 이득 설계를 자유롭게 하였으며, 2차 DC/DC 컨버터 설계 시 절연이 필요하지 않도록 하였다. 제안한 회로의 성능을 65W급 프로토타입 컨버터의 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new AC-DC converter control method to comply with harmonics regulation(IEC 61000-3) effective for the inverter system of an air conditioner whose power consumption is less than 2,500W. There are many different ways of AC-DC converter control, but this paper focuses on the converter control method that is adopting an input reactor with low cost silicon steel core to strengthen cost competitiveness of the manufacturer. The proposed control method controls input current every half cycle of the line frequency to get unit power factor and at the same time to reduce switching loss of devices and acoustic noise from reactor. This kind of converter is known as a Partial Switching Converter(PSC). In this study, theoretical analysis of the PSC has been performed using Matlab/Simulink while a 16-bit micro-processor based converter has been used to perform the experimental analysis. In the theoretical analysis, electrical circuit models and equations of the PSC are derived and simulated. In the experiments, micro-processor controls input current to keep the power factor above 0.95 by reducing the phase difference between input voltage and current and at the same time to maintain a reference DC-link voltage against voltage drop which depends on DC-link load. Therefore it becomes possible to comply with harmonic regulations while the power factor is maximized by optimizing the time of current flow through the input reactor for every half cycle of line frequency.

This paper suggested the sulfur lamp power supply using Fuzzy Gain Scheduling(FGS), which was designed and confirmed the performance through manufacturing. it was based on Series Resonant Half Bridge Inverter(SRHBI), so that was applied Pulse Frequency Modulation(PFM), Zero Voltage Switching(ZVS), soft switching and soft start for input power variation and output power compensation. In order to get the lengthened life time of magnetron and stabilized output or power, power ratter and efficiency were improved by fuzzy gain algorism. It also made it possible to get not the existing foxed output power but continuous variable output power$(900\~1250[W])$. The manufactured power supply showed good results in input power $220[V]{\pm}15[\%]$ with stabilized output of power, luminous efficiency 97[1m/W] and power factor $96[\%]$.

This paper presents a novel single-stage high frequency resonant inverter link type DC-DC converter using zero voltage switching with high power-factor. The proposed topology is integrated half-bridge boost rectifier as power factor corrector(PFC) and half-bridge high frequency resonant converter into a single-stage. The input stage of the half-bridge boost rectifier works in discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) with constant duty cycle and variable switching frequency. So that a boost converter makes the line current follow naturally the sinusoidal line voltage waveform. Simulation results have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed high frequency resonant converter. Characteristics values based on characteristics analysis through circuit analysis is given as basis data in design procedure. Also, experimental results are presented to verify theoretical discussion. This proposed inverter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in various fields as induction heating applications, fluorescent lamp and DC-DC converter etc.

Power capacitor has been used to compensate for the low power factor of inductive load and to reduce harmonics generated by the power conversion device with reactor. The increase of voltage and current and thermal generation are extremely hard on the life of condenser. Current will be increased, provided that voltage and frequency of condenser increase also. The increase of voltage and frequency justly extends thermal generation. Both act on insulation stress and can afford to premature fault In this paper, we measured thermal distribution of condenser with infrared rays camera in case of variance of voltage and frequency. We were assured that the increase of voltage and frequency produces high heat and exceedingly shortens the life of condenser.

In this paper, interleaved boost converter is applied as a first-stage converter in switch mode power supply. The first-stage converter plays a role to improve power factor. Interleaved Boost Power Factor Corrector(IBPFC) can reduce input current ripple as a single voltage control loop only without inner current loop, because input current is divided each 50% by two switching devices. Each converter cell is also operated in discontinuous current mode and inductor current of each converter is discontinuous. Total input current which is composed by each converter cell is continuous current. Thus, IBPFC is able to improve input current ripple. IBPFC operating in discontinuous current mode can be classified as six modes from switching state and be carried out state space averaging small signal modeling. A control transfer function is obtained according to the modeling. Not only steady-state characteristics but also dynamic characteristics is considered. Single voltage control loop is also constructed by the control transfer function. From experimental result, improvement of power factor and input current ripple are verified.

Power capacitor is generally installed to compensate for the low power factor of inductive load But it has been used as passive filter to reduce harmonics generated by the power conversion device. Passive filter is composed by the series connection of reactor and capacitor. Because passive filter has play an important role on the absorber of harmonics, it takes voltage and current stress, follows partially burned on flamed and degradation, finally it has not guaranteed normal life. In this paper, we analyzed the effect that passive filter installed at the source side of PWM inverter is received by harmonics absorption.
