PFC converter can realize the AC input current control and DC output voltage control at the same frequency and phase with AC voltage, and thus it is widely used in server power [18], charger, UPS, and so on. Traditional PFC converter includes a front-end bridge rectifier, which increases conduction loss and greatly affects the efficiency of the PFC converter. Moreover, more serious loss is generated under low input voltage and light load particularly [5, 913]. In order to improve efficiency of the traditional PFC converter, an effective method named as bridgeless PFC technology without front-end bridge rectifier is proposed [3, 14, 15]. en the bridgeless PFC converter is proposed in [118], which uses two switches instead of the uncontrolled diodes.

Another bridgeless PFC converter makes the input voltage greater than zero at first and then obtains steady output voltage through the DC- DC converter. All of these bridgeless PFC converters have a higher cost, require complex topology, and may lead to serious electromagnetic inference (EMI) [3, 1318]. In this paper, we research a novel Pseudo-Boost converter, which has bipolar-gain characteristic; that is, no matter if the input voltage is positive or negative, the output voltage is always positive, and the converter also has the same characteristic as the traditional Boost converter.

1 Introduction

A great number of harmonic currents which are caused bynonlinear loads connected to grid aremain pollution sourcesof power system and important factors in the safe operationof the grid In order to reduce the harmonic pollution theactive power filter (APF) and power factor correction (PFC)are required which are applied to control the harmonic andreactive current generated from rectifier loads PFC convertercan realize the AC input current control and DC outputvoltage control at the same frequency and phase with ACvoltage and thus it is widely used in server power [1ndash8]charger UPS and so on Traditional PFC converter includesa front-end bridge rectifier which increases conductionloss and greatly affects the efficiency of the PFC converterMoreover more serious loss is generated under low inputvoltage and light load particularly [5 9ndash13]

In order to improve efficiency of the traditional PFCconverter an effective method named as bridgeless PFCtechnology without front-end bridge rectifier is proposed[3 14 15] Then the bridgeless PFC converter is proposed in[1ndash18] which uses two switches instead of the uncontrolled

diodes When AC input voltage is in positive half-cyclethe front bridge leg of the converter operations while ACinput voltage is in negative half-cycle the rear bridge legoperations The papers report that the bridgeless PFC con-verter adopts the same two DC-DC converters to implementthe power conversion for positive and negative half-cycleof AC input voltage respectively Another bridgeless PFCconverter makes the input voltage greater than zero at firstand then obtains steady output voltage through the DC-DC converter All of these bridgeless PFC converters havea higher cost require complex topology and may lead toserious electromagnetic inference (EMI) [3 13ndash18]

In this paper we research a novel Pseudo-Boost converterwhich has bipolar-gain characteristic that is no matter ifthe input voltage is positive or negative the output voltageis always positive and the converter also has the samecharacteristic as the traditional Boost converter Althoughthe converter has a resonant branch the difference fromthe traditional resonant converter is that the voltage transferratio is not relevant to the resonant branch parameters andswitching frequency it only depends on the switching dutycycle Based on the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter

the input voltage is positive or negative the output voltageof traditional Boost converter is the corresponding polarityCompared with the traditional one the output voltage ofBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter is just positive that isthe Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost has bipolar-gain characteris-tic To simplify the analysis of the operation of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter the following assumptions aremade

(a) All of the switches diodes inductors and capacitorsare ideal

(b) Output capacitor 119862119900is large enough to make the

output voltage keep constant in a switching cycle(c) Resonant inductor 119871

are much smaller than the inductor 119871 and outputcapacitor 119862

119900 respectively

There are four state variables in Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boostconverter One is the energy storage state variable (V

119888 119894119871)

in which the natural frequency is much lower than theswitching frequency The other one is the resonant statevariables (V

119888119903

119894119871119903

) in which the natural frequency is closeto the switching frequency According to the generalizedstate space averaging (GSSA) approach the GSSA equationof the converter can be established which chooses V

state variables Based on the GSSA equation the steady-statecharacteristic can be analyzed

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter

The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter

According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878

1combined with 119878

2instead of controllable

switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs

From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows

(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage

(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

119903 ΔV119888119903

period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant

capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862

119900

119900= 100W

VinRMS = 50V V119888= 100V 119862 = 470 120583F 119891line = 50Hz 119891 =

from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is

constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction

Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V

There are four state variables in Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boostconverter One is the energy storage state variable (V

119888 119894119871)

in which the natural frequency is much lower than theswitching frequency The other one is the resonant statevariables (V

119888119903

119894119871119903

) in which the natural frequency is closeto the switching frequency According to the generalizedstate space averaging (GSSA) approach the GSSA equationof the converter can be established which chooses V

state variables Based on the GSSA equation the steady-statecharacteristic can be analyzed

Figure 6 The topology of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-BoostPFC converter

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter

The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter

According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878

1combined with 119878

2instead of controllable

switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs

From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows

(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage

(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is

constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction

Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V

proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode

3 The Steady-State Analysis of Bipolar-GainPseudo-Boost Converter

There are four state variables in Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boostconverter One is the energy storage state variable (V

119888 119894119871)

in which the natural frequency is much lower than theswitching frequency The other one is the resonant statevariables (V

119888119903

119894119871119903

) in which the natural frequency is closeto the switching frequency According to the generalizedstate space averaging (GSSA) approach the GSSA equationof the converter can be established which chooses V

119888 119894119871as

state variables Based on the GSSA equation the steady-statecharacteristic can be analyzed

Figure 6 The topology of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-BoostPFC converter

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter

The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter

According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878

1combined with 119878

2instead of controllable

switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs

From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows

(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage

(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant

capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862

119900

from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is

constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter

The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter

According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878

1combined with 119878

2instead of controllable

switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs

From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows

(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage

(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant

capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862

119900

According to (10) and (17) no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the voltage transfer ratios of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter keep the same The converterhas the same Boost characteristic as the traditional Boostconverter In addition the voltage transfer ratio does not relyon the resonant branch parameters and switching frequencywhich is determined only by the switching duty cycle

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter

The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter

According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878

1combined with 119878

2instead of controllable

switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs

From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows

(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage

(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

has nothing to do withresonant inductor 119871

119903 ΔV119888119903

is too large to increase the switchvoltage stress so larger resonant 119862

119903and smaller switching

period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant

capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862

119900

However the resonant capacitor 119862119903is too small to result in

zero-crossing distortion and it must satisfy V119888gt ΔV119888119903

voltage of the bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFCconverter is steady moreover the input current that is 119894

119871will

maintain sinusoidal and thus the purpose of PFC is achieved

6 Experiment Verification

In order to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis aset of experiments are designed According to (18)ndash(20) theparameters of experiment circuit are as follows 119875

119900= 100W

VinRMS = 50V V119888= 100V 119862 = 470 120583F 119891line = 50Hz 119891 =

50 kHz 119871 = 25mH 119871119903= 78 120583H and 119862

119903= 330 nF

Figure 8 shows the input voltage input current andoutput voltage waveforms of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with 119875

119900= 100W It can be observed

from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is

constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction

Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V

119888= 100V It can be seen that the

proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode
