Control de un convertidor elevador de voltaje AC/DC utilizando balance de potencias

Abstract

This paper proposes the control of an AC/DC boost converter with power factor correction using input and output power balance. The operation of the AC/DC converter is presented and the firing sequence of the converter is set is established. As a main contribution, the power balance is presented to obtain the amplitude of the input reference current that allows controlling the DC voltage output. Hysteresis band control for the input current is used, allowing the quick functioning of the control strategy. The proposed hysteresis band control works quickly and allows working in a wide operating range. Experimental results which validate the proposed control are presented.
