Nowadays DC-DC converters are widely used in Microgrids for synchronization of distributed generators with AC and DC power lines and for low power applications. Therefore it becomes very necessary to improve the performance of AC-DC convertor The main emphasis is given on power factor improvement on supply side. To achieve this Z-source AC-DC power convertor is proposed in this project. By using Z-source at the input side transient response of convertor gets improved and power factor is obtained nearly equal to unity. Proposed scheme uses ferrite core high density , high frequency transformer . For the proposed scheme results are obtained by simulation and simulation results are validated with the hardware results.
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.
