Fuzzy Logic Controller Based High Frequency Link AC-AC Converter For Voltage ...IJTET Journal
Abstract—In this paper, an advanced high frequency link AC-AC Push-pull cycloconverter for the voltage compensation is proposed in order to maintain the power quality in electric grid. The proposed methodology can be achieve arbitrary output voltage without using large energy storage elements. So that the system is more steadfast and less costly compared with the conventional inverter topology. Additionally, the proposed converter does not contain any line frequency transformer, which reduces the cost further. The control scheme for the push pull cycloconverter employs the fuzzy logic controller based sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to accomplish better performance on voltage compensation, like unbalanced voltage harmonics elimination. The simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed high frequency link AC-AC converter and fuzzy logic controller based SPWM technology

The inclusion of a few additional diodes and passive elements in the high-frequency full-bridge ac–dc converter with galvanic isolation permits one to achieve sinusoidal input-current wave shaping and output-voltage regulation simultaneously without adding any auxiliary transistors. Recently, this procedure, together with an appropriate control process, has been used to obtain low-cost high-efficiency single-stage converters. In an attempt to improve the performance of such converters, this paper introduces three new single-stage full-bridge ac–dc topologies with some optimized characteristics and compares them with the ones of the existing full-bridge single-stage topologies. The approach used consists in the definition of the operating principles identifying the boost function for each topology, their operating limits, and the dependence between the two involved conversion processes. Experimental results for each topology were obtained in 500-W modular voltage disturbances that result from the input-current wave-shaping process.

Power converter is a key component in micro-scale energy harvesting systems. Micro-scale energy harvesting has become an increasingly viable and promising area for powering ultra-low power systems. Switched-capacitor (SC) power converters that use capacitors as energy storage elements offer much better power density than switched-inductor counterparts and are thus attractive in low-power area-constrained applications. Switched-capacitor (SC) converters have shown tremendous promise in this regard due to favorable device utilization and scaling trends, and the emergence of high-density silicon-compatible capacitor technologies. With the rising integration levels used to increase digital processing performance, there is a clear need for multiple independent on-chip supplies in order to support per-IP or block power management. The growing demand for both performance and battery life in portable consumer electronics requires SoCs and power management circuits to be small, efficient, and dynamically powerful. This project first reviews various design techniques for implementing high density On-chip Switched-capacitor (SC) power converters and secondly suggests the best technique to solve aspects of power converter design: Area Density, Power Consumption & Efficiency.

Comparators are basic building elements for designing modern analog and mixed signal systems. Speed and resolution are two important factors which are required for high speed applications. This paper presents a design for an on chip high-speed dynamic latched comparator for high frequency signal digitization. The dynamic latched comparator consists of two cross coupled inverters comprising a total of 9 MOS transistors. The measured and simulation results show that the dynamic latched comparator design has higher speed, low power dissipation and occupying less active area compared to double tail latched and preamplifier based clocked comparators. A new fully dynamic latched comparator which shows lower offset voltage and higher load drivability than the conventional dynamic latched comparators has been designed. With two additional inverters inserted between the input-stage and output-stage of the conventional double-tail dynamic comparator, the gain preceding the regenerative latch stage was improved and the complementary version of the output-latch stage, which has bigger output drive current capability at the same area, was implemented.

New Topology for Transformer less Single Stage -Single Switch AC/DC ConverterIJMER
This paper presents a transformer less single-stage single-switch ac/dc converter suitable for universal line applications (90–270 Vrms). The topology consists of a buck-type power-factor correction (PFC) cell with a buck–boost dc/dc cell and part of the input power is directly coupled to the output after the first power processing. With this direct power transfer and sharing capacitor voltages, the converter is able to achieve efficient power conversion, high power factor, low voltage stress on intermediate bus (less than 120 V) and low output voltage without a high step-down transformer. The absence of transformer reduces the size of the circuit , component counts and cost of the converter. Unlike most of the boost-type PFC cell, the main switch of the proposed converter only handles the peak inductor current of dc/dc cell rather than the superposition of both inductor currents. Tight voltage regulation is provided by using PID controller. Detailed analysis and design procedures and simulation of the proposed circuit are given .
A Novel Approach of Position Estimation and Power Factor Corrector Converter ...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper proposes a Power factor Corrected (PFC) Bridgeless Buck-Boost converter fed BLDC motor drive. The Bridgeless configuration eliminates the Diode Bridge Rectifier in order to reduce the number of components and the conduction loss. The position sensors used in BLDC drives have drawbacks of additional cost, mechanical alignment problems. These bottle necks results in sensorless technique. The Sensorless technique mostly relies on measurement of Back EMF to determine relative positions of stator and rotor for the correct coil energising sequence can be implemented. This paper introduces the offline Finite Element method for sensorless operation. The proposed sensorless scheme estimates the motor position at standstill and running condition. The obtained Power Factor is within the acceptable limits IEC 61000-3-2. The proposed drive is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink the obtained results are validated experimentally on a developed prototype of the drive.
A novel three phase bidirectional AC buck converter circuit using power
MOSFET is analyzed for input power factor, harmonic profile and efficiency of the
converter for power quality improvement. The equal PWM (EPWM) technique is a used to
increase number of pulses per half cycle (P) in order to vary these parameters. The rms
value of the fundamental component of the output voltage can be increased by varying the
duty ratio (K) of the pulses. It is observed from the simulation results obtained using
MATLAB/simulink that the proposed scheme using EPWM technique significantly reduces
low order harmonics, eliminates certain harmonics for certain values of P, improves input
power factor and hence significantly reduces the filter size of the converter.

Abstract - This paper presents the design of the feedback
loop for Single Controller (SC) Power Factor Correction
(PFC) converters which can regulate the output voltage
tightly. In the SC PFC converter, which needs a small
size bulk capacitor for the low cost, the loop gain design
requires input-to-output transfer function because
rectified input voltage has large harmonic components.
Two design examples are used to illustrate that the
capacitor size and corresponding loop gain affect the
converter performances such as THD, DCM conditions,
and output regulation. Proposed design procedures are
verified for Two Stage One Controller boost-Forward
PFC converter using computer simulations and
experimental results.
I. INTRODUCTION
Recently various types of Single Stage(SS) PFC
converters which integrate a PFC part and a dctdc
converter have been developed to minimize the cost for
low power applications. For above lOOW power
applications, the Two Stage One Controller (TSOC)
PFC converter is introduced as shown in Fig.1 in order
to overcome the excessive device stresses and poor
efficiency in SS PFC schemes. It consists of a PFC
boost converter operating in the discontinuous
conduction mode(DCM) followed by a dc/dc converter
as in a conventional two stage scheme, but a single
PWM controller is used as the SS PFC converter [l].
Generally, the TSOC PFC converter has the same
topological stage as in a SS PFC except the delay in the
gate pulse of the boost switch. This type of PFC
converter is called a Single Controller (SC) PFC
converter.
In the SC PFC converter, the feedback control loop
bandwidth must be much higher than twice the line
frequency to meet the output regulation and the
transient response specifications. In order to investigate
the feedback characteristics of the SC PFC converter, a
small signal model is needed. For this purpose, an
accurate small signal model based on harmonic analysis,
which is valid up to half of the switching frequency, is
developed [2]. It shows that in a SC PFC converter, the
high frequency small signal characteristics are similar
to those of a dcldc converter with absence of the PFC
boost dynamics. Thus, dynamics near the loop
0-7803-4489-8/98/$10.000 1998 IEEE
crossover frequency i.e. stability can be analyzed using
either the accurate model or the approximated model.
However, due to the rectified ac line voltage,
considerable second harmonic ripple of the input
voltage exists at the bulk capacitor. In designing the
feedback loop, the amount of the feedback gain at
second harmonic frequency influences the operating
condition such as the DCM condition and the input
current distortion due to the feedback action in the duty
ratio. This is especially true for a PFC converter using a
minimum sized bulk capacitor for low cost while
meeting the hold-up time requirement.
In this paper, influences of the second harmonic
ripple in the closed loop system are analyzed by the
simplified small signal model using the harmonic
analysis. Design of the feedback loop considering the
capacitor size, output regulation, and power factor (or

Fig. 1 The diagram of SC PFC convertex
Fig. 1 shows the diagram of the off-line SC PFC
converter. In case of the TSOC PFC converter
employing the delay control, the switch S2 is controlled
to regulate the dc output voltage, and the switch S1 is
controlled for reduction of the capacitor voltage and

Also, at this frequency range, output voltage of the
second stage converter which operates in CCM can be
approximated Eq.'s (2) and (3).
DCM operation at the same time, without frequency
modulation. A simple delay scheme using only the gate
drive single for S2 and the output of the feedback
control voltage, controls the capacitor voltage within a
designed range depending on the operating condition.
Therefore the TSOC PFC converter has a delay gain,
K1 which is more than 1 and constant offset, K2
between the duty ratio of the PFC switch S1 and dc-dc
converter switch S2. In case of the SS PFC converter,
because the PFC switch SI and dc-dc converter switch
S2 are same, there exists no delay gain, i.e. KI=l and
K2=0.
In order to design the feedback loop, small signal
model is needed. Fig. 2 shows the simplified small
signal model for SC PFC converter. In Fig. 2, GdF the

At the low frequency range below the second
harmonic frequency of the input voltage, the cascaded
dcldc converter is considered as a constant power load
because output voltage can be regulated tightly.
Therefore a small signal model can be derived by the
well-known method for DCM boost PFC pre-regulator
using the power balance [ 3 ] .Control to output transfer
function is shown in Eq. (1).

By Eq's. (5) and (6), high frequency control to

there exists the bulk capacitor voltage ripples at
harmonic frequencies of the input voltage. The
amplitude of the ripple voltage can be calculated by a
linearized input-to-output transfer function. This
function can be derived by fourier transformation of the
rectified input voltage and linearizing the square
function [4]. This is shown in Eq. (8) and is valid only
at harmonic frequencies of the input voltage.

As shown in Eq. (9), the higher the feedback gain is
selected the output ripple becomes lower, but the
magnitude of duty ratio variation at the second
harmonic frequency becomes larger at the steady state.
This affects the PFC coiiverter performances such as
the DCM condition and the input current distortion.
Using the harmonic analysis, the capacitor voltage and
the duty ratio can be approximated as shown in Eq.( 11)

DESIGN EXAMPLE
Two design examples are used to illustrate the
previously described harmonic analysis taking the
following requirements into consideration of
.3OA
- Output regulation
- DCM condition
4.5A
- THD
- Stability
- Control bandwidth
A . SS Dither Boost PFC converter
Specifications of the 1OOW SS PFC converter are as
follows. Input voltage is 90-132V, output voltage and
current are 5V and 20A. Parameter values of the power
stage are L1=64.5uH, n=l1.5, L2=30uH, C2=3000uF,
f=70kHz.
Fig. 4 shows the relations of the feedback loop gain
at 120Hz and boundary condition of DCM and THDs
with respect to the bulk capacitor by Eq. (14) and (16).
Using these simulation results, the feedback loop gain
and the smallest capacitor size can be designed. While
the capacitor value increases beyond 15uF in this
example, the DCM condition can be maintained. The
magnitude of the feedback gain is determined by the
control loop bandwidth and THD requirement.
As shown in Fig. 4, if the capacitor of 15uF is
selected, the range of the feedback gain, FMA should
be between 2.4 and 3.5.

EXPERIMENTAL
RESULTS
The control to output transfer function for a TSOC
PFC converter is measured through a network
analyzer(HP8751A). Fig. 8 shows the measured and
simulated control to output transfer functions for TSOC
PFC converters. It can be observed that the predicted
result and measured one are quite well matched. The
measurement conditions are as follows;
input voltage=90V, output power =10OW, Cl=lOOuF.
Fig. 10 shows the rectified line current, line voltage,
capacitor voltage and output voltage ripples to
investigate the effect of .the feedback gain which is used
lOOuF capacitor in case of FMA=1.65 and FMA=0.25.
As shown in Fig. lO(a), output voltage can be
maintained within 50mV specifications, but this
converter operates in CCM and THD is very large. Fig.
10(b) can not regulate: the output voltage while it
maintain to operate in DCM. This experimental results
are well matched with simulation results as shown in
Fig. 7 and verify the design curves in Fig. 6.
Fig. 11 shows the rectified line current, voltage and
output voltage ripples which is used FMA of 0.55 in
case of C=220uF and 100uF. It is shown that if the
same feedback gain is used output voltage ripple is
lower as the increasing bulk capacitor size.
