Buck power factor correction (PFC) converter is widely used for a broad range of AC/DC applications because of its many advantages However, the traditional discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) buck power factor correction converter (PFC) operates on constant duty-cycle control (CDCC) scheme, due to which its input power factor (PF) is low. For improving PF near to unity, a variable-duty-cycle control (VDCC) method has been proposed. Fitting duty-cycle method is also introduced to make circuit implementation easier. For verifying the validity of proposed technique, the simulation results are carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
