Design and Implementation of Single Phase AC-DC Buck-Boost Converter for Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Elimination

Abstract

<p class="Abstract"><span>This paper discusses the Power Factor Correction (PFC) for single phase ACDC Buck-Boost Converter (BBC) operated in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) using inductor average current mode control. The proposed control technique employs Proportional-Integral (PI) controller in the outer voltage loop and the Inductor Average Current Mode Control (IACMC) in the inner current loop for PFC BBC. The IACMC has advantages such as robustness when there are large variations in line voltage and output load. The PI controller is developed by using state space average model of BBC. The simulation of the proposed system with its control circuit is implemented in MatLab/Simulink. The simulation results show a nearly unity power factor can be attained and there is almost no change in power factor when the line frequency is at various ranges. Experimental results are provided to show its validity and feasibility. <br />Keyword</span></p>

Realization of Unity Power Factor for Ac/Dc Boundary Conduction Mode Flyback Converter With Any Specific Turn’s Ratio

“…[Yan et at (2014)] has proposed control scheme for flyback converter to enhance the PF of converter by applying the voltage across the auxiliary winding of the flyback converter. [Jayahar et al (2016)] has also given a solution of PFC for the CCM buck/boost converter. [Saifullah et al (2017)] has proposed the AC-DC bridgeless buck/boost converter for low power applications (1V to 3V) with switched capacitor for reducing the conduction losses and improving the efficiency.…”

Design of PI and Fuzzy Logic Controllers for Distribution Static Compensator

“…Next power quality problem is unbalancing the source voltage due to unbalanced load. The un balanced source voltage may generate the lower order harmonic component in the power system and also cause a negative sequence current and torque reduction in case of electric machine drive system [5][6][7][8] These power quality problems also appear due to plenty of industrial products and equipments containing nonlinear loads [9].These power quality problems are compensated using custom power devices such as distribution static compensators (DSTATCOM), dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) and unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) [10].In which the distribution static compensator is more suitable for reactive power compensation, harmonic mitigation, load unbalancing voltage variations and current harmonics in the distribution network compared to other custom power devices [11]. The SRF control scheme need PI controller for regulating DClink voltage.…”

“…2, June 2018 : 465 -477 468Similarly for regulating the voltage at the PCC, the source must need to deliver the reactive current (i qr ) ,to be added to the average reactive reference component of current (i q dc )of q-axis in d-q frame same as direct current axis component. Then the resultant reactive reference current component is iLq* =iq dc +iqr(8)…”
