Abstract

In this paper a Power Factor Control (PFC) of an AC-DC boost converter operating in light load condition has been presented. A Passivity-Based current control able to operate in either Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) and in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) has been presented. Cascaded control with outer PI voltage loop and intermediary input voltage feedforward has been implemented in order to increase Power Factor (PF). The proposed solution has been numerically tested using a powerful software simulation platform.
