Voltage multiplier based AC-DC with unity power factor

Voltage multiplier based AC-DC with unity power factor / Nur Syuhada Azizan
Bekalan kuasa tinggi voltan DC telah digunakan secara meluas dalam penyelidikan dan industri. Pengganda voltan Cockcroft-Walton yang dibahagikan kepada struktur bukan simetri dan simetri, adalah pilihan yang popular dalam aplikasi voltan tinggi DC. Pengganda voltan Cockcroft-Walton memberikan kelebihan nisbah voltan tinggi, merendahkan tekanan voltan pada diod dan kapasitor, kepadatan, dan kecekapan kos. Dengan mengambil kira kualiti garis situasi, pengganda voltan Cockcroft-Walton mempunyai prestasi yang lemah, seperti faktor kuasa yang rendah dan arus talian gangguan yang tinggi. Untuk memperbaiki kelemahan yang dinyatakan, beberapa teknik perpaduan faktor kuasa untuk pengganda voltan Cockcroft-Walton telah digunakan. Penukar rangsangan menunujukkan faedah pada faktor kuasa satu apabila beroperasi dalam mod pengaliran arus berterusan dengan pengganda voltan Cockcroft-Walton bukan simetri tanpa transformer penaik. Dalam tesis ini, pengganda voltan berdasarkan AC-DC dengan perpaduan faktor kuasa dibentangkan dengan menambahkan satu suis dan satu induktor perangsang. Satu kajian terperinci tentang prinsip operasi dan mod operasi penukar telah dilakukan dan hasilnya telah disahkan melalui keputusan percubaan. Kajian kecekapan penukar ini dijalankan dengan menetapkan frekuensi operasi penukar pada 50kHz dan voltan masukan berubah dari 5V ke 20V. Pengganda voltan berasaskan AC-DC dengan perpaduan faktor kuasa boleh mencapai kecekapan setinggi 91% dengan voltan masukan 25 Vac dan faktor kuasa 0.89. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ High voltage DC power supply is widely used in research and in industry. Cockcroft-Walton voltage multipliers (CWVMs), which can be divided into asymmetrical and symmetrical structures, are popular option among high voltage DC applications. Cockcroft-Walton voltage multipliers (CWVMs) providing the advantages of high voltage ratio, low voltage stress on the diodes and capacitors, compactness, and cost efficiency. But when taking into the quality of line conditions, CW VMs have poor performance, such as low power factor and high distorted line on output voltage. To improve the problems, an active power factor correction techniques which is boost converter for CW-VMs were developed in order to achieve unity power factor. Boost converters draws power from the utility at unity power factor when it operates in continuous conduction mode with an asymmetrical CWVM without step-up transformer. In this thesis, a voltage multiplier based AC-DC with unity power factor is presented with only adding one switch and a boost inductor. A detailed study of operating principle and modes of operation of the converter is performed and verified through experimental results. The efficiency study of the converter is conducted by maintaining the operating frequency at 50kHz while the input voltage is varied from 5V to 25V. It found that the voltage multiplier with unity power factor converter achieved the maximum efficiency which is 91% at input voltage of 25 Vac and power factor 0.89.
