Power factor correction using boost converter technique / Nur Zati Akmar Lukeman

This project describes a single phase rectifier with improved power factor by using the boost converter technique. Low Power Factor (PF) is caused by nonlinearity of the input current. An active power factor correction method was designed for improvement of the power factor. Boost converter is one m...
