Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis between the two controllers, PI and fuzzy logic controllers that used for power factor correction using DC-to-DC single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) converter. MATLAB/Simulink models of SEPIC converter are developed to improve the power factor and output voltage regulation. Average current control technique is used for input power factor correction to get a regulated voltage at the output PI or fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is adopted. The system is tested at both steady-state and transient conditions, and its performance is then estimated and compared in terms of various parameters like total harmonic distortion (THD), input power factor, output voltage ripple for PI and FLC.
