Single Phase Power Factor Correction: A Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
New recommendations and future standards have increased the interest in power factor correction circuits. There are multiple solutions in which line current is sinusoidal. In addition, in the recent years, a great number of circuits have been proposed with nonsinusoidal line current. In this paper, a review of the most interesting solutions for single phase and low power applications is carried out. They are classified attending to the line current waveform, energy processing, number of switches, control loops, etc. The major advantages and disadvantages are highlighted and the field of application is found.

A New Approach for Reactive Power Control of Single Phase Transformerless Inverter to Modify Power Quality in Stand Alone Micro-Grids with Current Leakage Elimination
Nowadays there has been an increasing interest in transformerless inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system due to low cost, high efficiency and light weight. One of the reasons describe the grid behavior is capability of reactive power control by inverter. According to the standard VDE-AR-N 4105, grid-tied PV inverter of power rating below 3.68KVA, should attain power factor (PF) fr...
متن کاملAn Isolated Off-Line High Power Factor Electrolytic Capacitor-Less LED Driver with Pulsating Output Current
One of the most efficient lighting technology is based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Common LED drivers with AC-input (50-60Hz) usually require a bulk electrolytic capacitor to decrease low-frequency ripple in the output. However, the critical element that limits the lifespan of the LED driver is the electrolytic capacitor. An isolated off-line LED driver is proposed in this paper, in which ...

متن کاملA Single-Phase Controlled Rectifier with Unity Power Factor
An approach recently introduced to correct the power factor of single-phase and three-phase diode rectifiers is extended to single-phase line-frequency phase-controlled rectifiers. First of all, the conventional circuit of the thyristor based rectifier is proposed to be modified in order to make possible the control of the DC-voltage mean value also in presence of a fully resistive behaviour of...

In this paper, three-dimensional incompressible laminar fluid flow in a rectangular microchannel heat sink (MCHS) using Al2O3/water nanofluid as a cooling fluid is numerically studied. CFD prediction of fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer properties of nanofluid using single-phase and two-phase model (Eulerian-Eulerian approach) are compared. Hydraulic and thermal performance of microch...
