Abstract

AC-DC converters, which transform alternating current (AC) into controlled direct current (DC), are key instruments for systems requiring stable and efficient power conversion. Among various AC-DC topologies, the Cuk converter topology is increasingly used for power factor correction (PFC) applications, enabling efficient power conversion for various industrial and household devices. Despite its growing adoption in AC-DC applications, the existing literature does not thoroughly examine the technical aspects of the modern Cuk topologies. This paper seeks to fill this gap by comprehensively analyzing recent topological advancements in AC-DC Cuk converters, encompassing their categorizations, performance attributes, and applications. The evaluation and review of the prominent converter topologies have been summarized in a tabular format, presenting essential converter metrics, including component counts, operation modes, isolation and rectification styles, power ratings, power factor, and total harmonic distortion (THD). The paper aims to provide valuable insights for researchers, design engineers, and manufacturers through technical comparison and topology evaluation. In addition, the related technical issues and challenges regarding selecting a suitable converter topology are addressed in this article.

AC-DC Cuk变换器：最新拓扑综述

交直流变换器是一种将交流电转换为可控直流电的变换器，是实现系统稳定、高效的电源转换的关键设备。在各种AC-DC拓扑中，Cuk转换器拓扑越来越多地用于功率因数校正（PFC）应用，为各种工业和家用设备实现高效的功率转换。尽管它在交流-直流应用中越来越多地被采用，但现有的文献并没有彻底研究现代Cuk拓扑的技术方面。本文试图通过全面分析AC-DC Cuk转换器的最新拓扑进展来填补这一空白，包括它们的分类、性能属性和应用。对突出的转换器拓扑的评估和回顾以表格形式进行了总结，展示了基本的转换器指标，包括元件计数，工作模式，隔离和整流风格，额定功率，功率因数和总谐波失真（THD）。本文旨在通过技术比较和拓扑评估，为研究人员、设计工程师和制造商提供有价值的见解。此外，本文还讨论了选择合适的转换器拓扑的相关技术问题和挑战。
