Considering high PF and efficiency, the boundary conduction mode (BCM) control is more suitable for low-power applications such as the adapter and lighting. However, the zero current detector (ZCD) in conventional boost PFC suffers from high cost due to the need of auxiliary winding. The proposed self-adaptive zero current prediction (SAZCP) technique can accurately detect the zero current to implement an auxiliary winding-free boost PFC controller for low cost. Simulation results demonstrate that high PF of 0.998 and low THD of 3% can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":191469,"journal":{"name":"2013 1st International Future Energy Electronics Conference (IFEEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121079340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, in the 27.5 kV locomotive co-phase traction power, the railway power quality conditioner is a back-to-back converter, and LCL filter is preferred to suppress the harmonics injected. In this paper, the design procedure of LCL filter for harmonic suppression in co-phase railway power quality conditioner is being analyzed and proposed. The influence of LCL filter parameter on its performance is being derived mathematically and discussed. Besides normal discussion of current harmonic suppression, voltage harmonic suppression performance of LCL filter is also investigated.

This study proposes a new topology for PFC applications, namely isolated quasi z-source bridgeless PFC converter, to improve efficiency by eliminating of the low-recovery diodes on the conduction paths. The voltage spikes on MOSFETs caused by resonance between parasitic components are completely absorbed by using a non-dissipative clamping structure. As a result, low-voltage MOSFETs with low Rds(ON) are used to reduce the conduction loss. Moreover, couple-inductor is utilized to reduce the size of the boost-inductor. In this paper, a simulation circuit with 180-240 V input, 400 V/1 kW output was verified to demonstrate its feasibility. The simulation results shown the spikes on MOSFETs were absolutely eliminated. The input current was sinusoidal and in phase with the input voltage. The proposed topology is promising for high efficiency, high power factor, and low current total harmonic distortion applications.","PeriodicalId":191469,"journal":{"name":"2013 1st International Future Energy Electronics Conference (IFEEC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126180374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a method of optimal load sharing using droop control and fuzzy control is proposed for a smart house which is equipped with a PV system, EV, storage battery, and HEMS. Optimal load sharing is achieved by changing the droop characteristics of the each inverters which connected to the PV system, storage battery, and EV by using fuzzy control.
