Abstract - PWM Rectifier is widely been used in
communication, computersandindustrial.Oneoftheleading
issues in line-frequency operated power converter design is
how to consume power from the grid but not to return it.
The Unity Power Factor (UPF) PWM has become an
important design issue as a consequence of recent
legislation. Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(CERC) legislation restricts the harmonic content of power
supplies. One of them is international standards known as
IEC61000–3–2. The advantages of UPF are more than
legislative compliance. The advantages include greater
efficiency, larger power densityandimprovedpowerquality
result in economic benefits to the electricity service
provider. The goal of this dissertation is to develop a unity
power factor rectifier. The motivation in developing this
product was to develop a regulated power supply capableof
producing power with low level of harmonic current
distortion. This research involvesthedesignofa 500WUnity
Power Factor Rectifier. The converter operates at an input
voltage of 100VAC and regulated output at 150VDC. This
allows the converter to operate directly from a residential
mains outlet. To obtain the output at low level voltage, a
second-stage DC to DC converter is added. The prototypes
were fully tested at different parameters to test its
capabilities.
Key Words: Keywords – Switched Mode Power Supply,

1. INTRODUCTION
In the present situation, the evolution of growing in
computers, laptops, uninterrupted power supplies, telecom
and biomedical equipment has become overpowering.
Hence, the utilization of such equipment results high power
consumption and small power density which provided a
large market to Distributed Power System (DPS). Power
conditioning; typically, rectification is essential usually for
electronics equipment. Rectifier behaves as nonlinear load
producing non-sinusoidal line current due to the nonlinear
input characteristic. The steady growth of use of electronics
equipment is become a significant problem as per the line
current harmonic is concerned. Their adversative effects on
the power system are acknowledged healthy. Hence fore, in
three-phase systems, the neutral current magnitude
increases and becomes the cause of overheating of
transformers and induction motors, as well as the dreadful
conditions of system voltage waveforms.Therearenumbers
of international standards to limit the harmonic content,
caused due to the line currents of equipment coupled to
electricity distribution networks. Accordingly,a reductionin
line current harmonics, or Power Factor Correction – PFC is
vital. This idea is the inspiration to this research effort. The
objective is to improve the power factor nearly unity with
minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
There are two types of PFC’s.
1) Passive PFC,
2) Active PFC.
For this dissertation work small EMI (LC) passive PFC and
Boost Converter active PFC are presented with suitable
switching control. Different conventional and nonlinear
control schemes are analysed for the switching of Boost PFC
Converter, which is the key to obtain power factor nearly to
unity with least percentage of THD. There are some major
conventional control techniques that are implemented for
the dissertation work, which are;
1) Peak Current Control
2) Average Current Control
3) PI Control.
Also, for improved dynamic response and large stability
range at high frequency the nonlinear controllers;
1) Dynamic Evolution Controller and
2) Sliding Mode Controller are applied.
For each case the input power factor is closed to unity and
the line current waveform is observed as sinusoidal with
THD percentage is in the tolerate limit.

3. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
The following methodology is carried out in two stages via
analysis and experimental. The analysis starts with a
literature studies which are related to the thesis topic. A
completed studiesandinvestigationswerecarriedouton the
characteristic of nonlinear loads, voltage and current
distortion, total harmonicdistortion,powerfactorandactive
power. In the literature survey,varioustopologieshavebeen
evaluated which might be able to fulfill the design
specifications. Based on the literature survey, two stages
topology were selected for further evaluation. Thefirststage
is the Boost converter and the second stage is the Fly back
converter. After a comparison of various topologies, this
Boost-Fly back topology benefits in terms of their current
waveform, cost and device rating, power rating and
maximum power factor achievable. To obtain unity power
factor, all the odd harmonics in the input current should be
eliminated as well as not producing any displacement angle
between input voltage, and input current, meaning
that the value of distortion factor and displacement power
factor is equal to unity. To generate odd current harmonics
represents the characteristic of a nonlinear loads, a single-
phase full-bridge rectifiercontainingdiodes wasusedduring
the experiment. A computer power supply was also used as
one of the sample for nonlinear loads.
4. CONCLUSION
A new single stage power factor correction ACDC converter
has been studied and analysed for operation in both
continuous and discontinuous current modes. The features
of the proposed converter topology confirmed by design,
simulation and experimental results can be summarized by
the independent and high frequency operation of the load
inverter allows the design of control loops with wide band
width.
