Abstract

AC–DC converter which requires power factor correction (PFC) at the input side mostly uses boost-type topology as a PFC converter between bridge rectifier and load. Due to the inherent nature of the boost topology, momentary behavior of the AC–DC converter which uses boost topology is unsatisfactory. This paper presents proportional integral controller tuned by particle swarm optimization along with variable duty cycle control for PFC as well as fast regulation under transient conditions in an AC–DC converter. The state-space average approach is applied for modeling the converter from which the converter’s transfer function is derived. The duty ratio is calculated at each instant using converter parameters to make the power factor unity and achieve better transient performance. This duty cycle is correlated with sawtooth waveform (whose frequency is a switching frequency) to generate PWM pulses. Simulation is done using MATLAB/Simulink software. Spartan 6 FPGA kit with switching frequency 500 KHz is used for hardware implementation.
