Recently, a ZVT boost converter is embedded in a power factor correction system. The control circuit of the converter assures soft-switching for all the MOSFETs and load regulation. The PFC system contains additional control circuits which assure the input voltage in a sinusoidal form and feed-forward line voltage regulation. In this paper, a soft switching boost converter with zero-voltage transition(ZVT) main switch using zero-current switching(ZCS) auxiliary switch is proposed. Operating intervals of the converter are persented and analyzed. The proposed results show that the main switch maintains UT while auxiliary switch retains ZCS for the complete specified line and load conditions.

A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive this LED lighting, various types of power converters have been applied. Also, power factor correction (PFC) techniques play an important role in the power supply technology. In this paper, design and control of a DCM interleaved boost PFC converter is discussed. The proposed converter can reduce current ripples at input and output side by cancelling an each phase of inductor currents. Since the IC does not require the auxiliary winding of inductor for current detection, simple PFC circuit is achieved. Therefore, it contributes to increase efficiency and downsize the whole system volume, cost. Also, the performance of the proposed system is demonstrated through experiments.

This paper presents a novel Power Factor Corrected(PFC) single-stage AC/DC Half-Bridge converter, which features discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) and soft-switching. The reduced conduction losses are achieved by the employment of a novel power factor correction circuitry, instead of the conventional configuration composed of a front-end rectifier followed by a boost converter. To identify the validity of the proposed converter, simulated results of 500[W] converter with 100[V] input voltage and 50[V] output voltage are presented.

최근 많은 나라들이 상용전원의 왜곡을 방지하기 위해 AC 라인에 직접 연결하는 제품에 IEC 61000-3-2 나 IEEE 59 와 같은 고조파 규제를 가하고 있다. 따라서 최근 차세대 디스플레이 소자로 각광을 받고 있는 PDP(플라즈마 디스플레이 패널) 역시 이런 규제치를 만족하기 위해 역률개선회로를 부착하고 있다. 기존의 PDP 파워 모듈에서는 일반적으로 잘 알려진 부스트 컨버터를 이용해 역률개선회로를 구성하여 사용하였다. 그러나 PDP 자체의 열과 브리지 다이오드의 과도한 발열 때문에 시스템의 안전성을 보장할 수가 없었다. 본 논문에서는 PDP 파워 모듈용 역률개선회로로 브리지 없는 부스트 컨버터를 이용함으로써 효율, 소자 수, 발열상태 등 여러 가지 측면에서 기존회로와 비교 분석을 하고 그것의 제품 적용 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다.

부스트 PFC (Power Factor Correction)컨버터는 AC 입력 전류의 단일 역률과 낮은 THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)를 달성하기 위해 다양한 제어기법들이 연구되고 있다. 그중 인덕터 전류의 평균값을 전류지령에 추종하도록 제어하는 평균전류 모드 제어가 있으며 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 오늘날 디지털 프로세서의 발달로 고도화된 디지털 제어가 가능해지면서 부스트 PFC 컨버터의 예측제어가 관심을 받고 있다. 예측제어에는 예측 알고리즘으로 듀티를 미리 생성하는 예측전류 모드 제어 및 모델을 기반으로 한 비용함수를 선정하여 스위칭 동작을 하는 모델예측제어로 분류된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 부스트 PFC 컨버터의 평균전류 모드 제어, 예측전류 모드 제어, 모델예측 전류 제어를 간단히 설명한다. 또한, 시뮬레이션을 통해 전체 부하 및 다양한 외란 조건에서의 전류 제어를 비교 분석한다.

This paper proposes a new single-stage, single-switch AC/DC converter based on the boost power factor correction (PFC) cell. The converter offers both high power factor and high efficiency. To reduce the dc voltage on the energy storage capacitor, the dc bus voltage feedback method was used. A 100W (5V/20A) prototype was built and tested to show the validity of the proposed converter.

Recently international regulations governing the amount of harmonic currents(e.g IEC 61000-3-2) became mandatory and active Power factor correction (PFC) pre-regulator circuit became inevitable for the AC/DC converters. Among these topologies, the boost topology represents an optimum solution for a PFC pre-regulation in a high power application. This paper propose improved ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) AC/DC PFC Boost using the average current control employing a soft-switching technique of the auxiliary switch with a minimum number of components. The conventional ZVT PFC Boost Converter has a disadvantage that the auxiliary switch turns off hard, which influences the overall efficiency and the EMI problem. In this paper, an improved ZVT PFC Boost converter using active snubber is proposed to minimize the switching loss of the auxiliary. The prototype of 100kHz, 640W system was implemented to show the improved performance.

In this paper, a DCM operated boost integrated single-stage forward-flyback converter is proposed. This proposed converter has high power factor, low harmonic distortion, and tight output regulation. To increase efficiency, zero voltage switching with asymmetrical control is used. This converter also give low voltage stress in switch and this results in low conduction loss with low turn-on resistance.

A digital current control scheme using virtual d-q transformation for a boost single-phase power factor correction (PFC) converter is proposed. The use of virtual d-q transformation in single-phase power converters is known to improve current control performance. However, the conventional virtual d-q transformation-based digital current control scheme cannot be directly applied to the boost single-phase PFC converter because the current and average voltage waveforms of the inductor used in the converter are not sinusoidal. To cope with this problem, this study proposes a virtual sinusoidal signal generation method that converts the current and average voltage waveform of the inductor into a sinusoidal waveform synchronized with the grid. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show that the virtual d-q transformation-based digital current control is successfully applied to the boost single-phase PFC converter with the aid of the proposed virtual sinusoidal signal generation method.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) is expected to replace conventional lamps including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps for some general illumination application, due to some obvious features such as high luminous efficiency, safety, long life, environment-friendly characteristics and so on. To drive the LED, a single stage PFC(Power Factor Correction) flyback converter has been adopted to satisfy the isolation, PFC and low cost. The conventional flyback LED driver has the serious disadvantage of high 120Hz output current ripple caused by the PFC operation. To overcome this drawback, a new PFC flyback with low 120Hz output current ripple is proposed in this paper. It is composed of 2 power stages, the DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) flyback converter for PFC and BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) boost converter for tightly regulated LED current. Since the link capacitor is located in the secondary side, its voltage stress is small. Moreover, since the driver is composed of 2 power stages, small output filter and link capacitor can be used. Especially, since the flyback is operated at DCM, the PFC can be automatically obtained and thus, an additional PFC IC is not necessary. Therefore, only one control IC for BCM boost converter is required. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.
