An Active Power Factor Correction Technique for Bridgeless Boost AC-DC Converter
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
As most of the electronic appliances use DC power so improvement in AC–DC converter is always at large by the researchers. The factors of improvement of power quality are reduction in total harmonic distortion and improvement in power factor at input ac, and tight output dc regulation. In such context, the AC-DC boost converters have gained significant importance, especially when they are used in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). This work presents a bridgeless AC DC boost converter operating in CCM. The implementation of input current and output voltage controller is also discussed. Then a comparative analysis based on simulation results of bridgeless and bridge boost rectifier is presented. Bridgeless boost AC-DC converter has outperformed the conventional techniques due to lower conduction losses, lower THD of input current and improved input power factor.
