| Summary: | Power factor correction (PFC) provides well-known benefits to avoid poor power
factor penalty and to reduction bill utility. The voltage support release of the system
capacity and reduce system losses. There are two kinds of power factor correction
techniques- passive power factor correction and active power factor correction. This
thesis tried to develop a boost converter with applied active power factor correction
method for improve of the power factor. MATLAB software is used to design Fuzzy
logic to control scheme for boost converter from single phase rectifier. The
methodology integrates fuzzy logic controlling the output voltage of DC-DC
converter and improves performance of the boost converter during transient
operation. Instead of generating fast pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal, the
digital signal processor is required to generate a slow-varying dc signal only for
determining the PWM ramp function. A model for Power Factor Correction has been
developed using the MATLAB software. The simulation result shows that the power
factor has been improved. |
