Input filters are very important to matrix converters (MCs). They are used to improve grid side current waveform quality and to reduce the input voltage distortion supplied to the grid side. Due to the effects of the input filter and the output power, the grid side power factor (PF) is not at unity when the input power factor angle is zero. In this paper, the displacement angle between the grid side phase current and the phase voltage affected by the input filter parameters and output power is analyzed. Based on this, a new grid side PF unity compensation method implemented in the indirect space vector pulse width modulation (ISVPWM) method is presented, which has a larger compensation angle than the traditional compensation method, showing a higher grid side PF at unity in a wide output power range. Simulation and experimental results verify that the analysis of the displacement angle between the grid side phase current and the phase voltage affected by the input filter and output power is right and that the proposed compensation method has a better grid side PF at unity.

A novel AC to DC PWM converters with unity input power factor are proposed to overcome the above shortcoming. The main function of these converters is to shape the input line current to force it exactly in phase with the input AC voltage. Therefore, the input power factor can be improved to near unity and the input current harmonics can be eliminated. In this paper, half-bridge converter with two active switches and two diodes are utilized for low-cost type UPS configuration. By having only two semiconductors in the current path at any time, losses can be reduced over the conventional boost topology. Also, this converter provides controllable dc-link voltage, high power factor, and low cost type converter by simple power circuits. Simulation results show that the proposed half-bridge converter/inverter control technique can be applied to single-phase low-cost type UPS systems successfully.

In this paper, a current control system of a single phase PWM AC/DC converter using a reduced-order Luenberger observer without source voltage sensors is proposed. The sinusoidal input current and unity input power factor are realised based on the estimated source voltage performed by the reduced-order Luenberger observer using actual currents and DC link voltage. The poles of the reduced-order Luenberger observer are placed in the left half plane of s-plane by the pole-placement method in order to acquire the stability of the observer. The magnitude and the phase of the estimated source voltage are used to accomplish the unity power factor. The proposed method is implemented by DSP(Digital Signal Processor). Experimental Results verify that the reduced-order observer estimates the source voltage without the estimation error and the control system accomplishes the unity power factor, and constant DC link voltage.

본 논문은 단위 역률을 갖도록 직접 시비율 펄스폭 변조 방식으로 제어되는 3상 매트릭스 컨버터의 평형 및 불평형 부하시의 동작 특성을 고찰한다. 시스템의 해석으로부터 얻어진 중요하고 유용한 사실을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 단위 역률 제어 알고리즘은 부하측의 변수에 의해서가 아니라 입력전압에 의하여 정해진다. (2) 평형 3상 부하가 리액티브 부하인 경우만 아니라면 입력측 역률을 1로 만들 수 있다. (3) 불평형 선형부하의 경우, 매트릭스 컨버터의 등가입력 특성은 비선형저항과 같다. (4) 입력 주파수와 출력 주파수가 특정한 관계를 가질 때, 입력측의 각상은 동일한 평균전력 분담률을 갖는다. 해석의 타당성과 유효성은 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통하여 검증하였다.

Power factor improved for single-phase buck-converter is studied in the paper. To sinusoidal waveform the input current with a near-unity power factor over a wide variety of operating conditions, the output capacitor is operated with voltage reversibility for the supply by arranging the auxiliary diode and power switching device. Then the output voltage is superposed on the input voltage during on time duration of power switching devices in order to minimize the input current distortion caused by the small input voltage when changing the polarity. The tested setup, using two insulated gate bipolar transistors(IGBT) and a microcomputer, is implemented and IGBT are switched with 20[kHz], which is out of the audible band. Moreover, a rigorous state-space analysis is introduced to predict the operation of the rectifier. The simulated results confirm that the input current can be sinusoidal waveform with a near-unity power factor and a satisfactory output voltage regulation can be achieved.

This paper deals with novel electronic ballast based on single-stage power processing topology using a symmetrical half-bridge inverter and current injection circuit. The half-bridge inverter drives the output parallel resonant circuit and injects current through the power factor correction (PFC) circuit. Because of high frequency current injection and high frequency modulated voltage, the proposed circuit maintains the unity power factor (UPF) with low THD even under wide variation in ac input voltage. This circuit needs minimum and lower sized components to achieve the UPF and high efficiency. This leads to an increase in reliability of ballast at low cost. Furthermore, to reduce cost, the electronic ballast is designed for two series-connected fluorescent lamps (FL). The analysis and experimental results are presented for ($2{\times}36$ Watt) fluorescent lamps operating at 50 kHz switching frequency and input line voltage (230 V, 50 Hz).

Single-phase and three-phase AC to DC power converters are becoming frequently used for high voltage/high power applications such as telecommunications. They often require input/output transformer isolation for safety, a unity input power factor for minimum reactive power, free input harmonic currents fed back to the AC Power distribution system and, finally, high efficiency and high power density for minimum weight and volume. The proposed boost converter for power factor correction (PFC) provides an unity input power factor, low harmonic distortion and high efficiency along with reduced volume and weight. Single-phase 220VAC input/380VDC 1KW output prototype is constructed and experimental results will be verified with those of PSpice simulation.

Asymmetrical pulse width modulated(APWM) control technique for AC chopper is proposed which can improve the input power factor. The ideal switching function for the proposed technique is derived and its optimal slope to maintain the input power factor to unity is calculated. By digital simulation several characteristics are investigated theoretically and then compared with those of the conventional PWM and the phase angle control technique. In order to maintain the input power factor to unity the optimal slope and the average value of the ideal switching function are calculated. The experimental results show a good agreement with the calculated ones, which proves the feasibility of the proposed technique.

In this paper, the operation regions of a three-phase voltage-source PWM converter are defined: linear modulation region, allowed current region, linear control region, unity power-factor region, and power-factor decreasing region. Particularly, the power-factor decreasing region is first examined and defined as the region where both the sinusoidal input current control and the stable DC link voltage regulation can not be obtained with a unity power-factor operation. To avoid these undesirable effects, the optimal current vector is derived, which ensures the sinusoidal input current and the stable DC link voltage regulation with maximum power-factor available, and, in consequence, it extends the operation region of the PWM converter. The validity of the proposed control scheme is proved by the computer simulation.
