Investigation and efficiency analysis of dualboost bridgeless PFC converter

Abstract

Aim Investigation of Dual-Boost Bridgeless PFC Converters, which offer solutions to power quality problems with high efficiency advantages for high-power applications. Design & Methodology The converters are simulated in the PSIM environment by controlling them with the Average Current Control Method and operating them in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). Originality Thanks to SiC and GaN MOSFETs, which are thought to replace existing MOSFETs in the near future, it is predicted that the limiting effect of the ON-resistance of the switch will decrease. Findings The power factor value of the D-BBPFCis measured as 0,997, its harmonic distortionis 6,44% and its efficiency is 96,8 %. Conclusion It is seen that Dual-Boost Bridgeless PFC Converters provide solutions to power quality problems with higher efficiency. Additionally, the importance of MOSFET's used in converters has been proven.
