In this paper, a new semi-bridgeless interleaved (SBLIL) boost rectifier topology as front end converter for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is proposed. The proposed rectifier topology achieves higher efficiency, with high input power factor and less power drawn from the utility. A detailed principle of operation and analytical modelling of the converter is presented. The converter prototype is designed for 300 W with a high switching frequency of 80 kHz and tested for a universal input voltage of (110–240) V to get the desired output voltage of 400 V. The modified converter topology achieves a high efficiency of 97% as it eliminates the bridge rectifier and addition of slow diodes. The performance of the proposed converter is compared with the existing standard topologies. The experimental results infer that the power factor at the supply end is 0.99 with THD less than 5% when the load is varied from half load to full load condition. © 2017, © 2017 IETE.

Linear Peak Current Mode Control of Semi Bridgeless AC-DC Converter

The front end AC/DC converter of level-II battery chargers consists of a full bridge rectifier for conversion which leads to power losses and thermal management problem at higher loads this makes the converter performance less efficient. The proposed converter Semi-Bridgeless PFC boost converter is used to achieve high efficiency, low power losses with power factor closer to unity at higher loads. The current sharing between the semiconductor devices used in the circuit makes the converter to operate at higher loads unlike conventional topologies. This paper deals with the implementation of One-Cycle Control or Integration Reset Technique in semi-bridgeless PFC boost converter. It employs a resettable integrator which control the input current to be in phase with voltage to achieve power factor closer to unity. The advantage of this technique is that it requires only one voltage, current sensor and no multipliers which makes the control technique a cost-effective solution. The circuit simulation work is done using PSIM software. © 2015 IEEE.
