Abstract-Existing control schemes for a single-phase ac-to-dc converter with active powerdecoupling function typically involve a dedicated power-decoupling controller. However, due to the highly coupled and nonlinear nature of the single-phase system, the design of the power-decoupling controller based on the conventional linear control techniques is cumbersome, and the control structure is complicated. Additionally, with the power-decoupling control, it is generally difficult to achieve satisfied dynamic responses and robust circuit operation. Following a recently proposed automatic-power-decoupling control scheme, this paper proposes a nonlinear control method that can achieve enhanced dynamic responses and strong disturbance rejection performance without the need for a dedicated power-decoupling controller. The proposed controller has a simple structure, of which the design is straightforward. In addition, the control method is generally applicable to single-phase ac-to-dc systems with active power-decoupling function. Simulation and experimental results validate the feasibility of the proposed control method on a two-switch buck-boost PFC rectifier prototype.Index Terms-Automatic power decoupling control, single-phase ac-to-dc converters, power decoupling.
