| Abstract |
This paper describes a Power Factor Correction of an AC/DC power converter using a recent
Resonant Current Controller (RCC). The investigated converter involves an input passive filter in
order to remove the inter-modulation frequencies due to the pulse modulation. The Resonant Current
Controller regulates the AC/DC inverter input current whose shape depends on the utility waveform.
Therefore, the RCC criterion is investigated. Thereafter, as the chosen filter suits to the RCC
operating modes, we target a nearly unity power factor. Indeed, due to the accurate tracking of the
RCC, the inverter input current accurately tracks the network voltage waveform. Results demonstrate
the excellent RCC behaviour in the proposed scheme and agree with the simulated ones. |
