Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign of a Single-Phase Rectifier with Improved Power Factor and Low THD using Boost Converter TechniqueIsmail Daut, Rosnazri Ali, Soib TaibThe method of using Boost type of converter was proposed for a 300W single-phase rectifier in this paper. By designing the necessary techniques and methodology, the overall Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion would be improved to the expectation. The cause of having low PF and high THD for a diode-capacitor type of rectifiers is related to non-linearity of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Low Cost Design Solution - DSP Based Active Power Factor Corrector for SMPS/ UPS( Single Phase)Samia Pillai Pitchai, B. UmamaheswariAs per international agency regulation (IEC 1000-3-2/EN 61000-3-2) and market expectation, it is important to reduce current harmonics in the AC line current drawn by SMPS/ UPS connected to AC Mains as source and also it is desired by the user to deliver maximum power output by achieving unity power factor. To achieve the above objectives in SMPS/ UPS, APFC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling and Simulation of a Novel Switched Reluctance Motor Drive System with Power Factor ImprovementG. Venkatesan, R. Arumugam, M. Vasudevan et al.This study presents a novel Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive system with power factor improvement. Recently, many of the converters with variable speed drives have no input power factor correction circuits. This results in harmonic pollution of the utility supply, which should be avoided. The effect of power factor variation in terms of harmonic content is also analyzed in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFuzzy Inference System Based Power Factor Correction of Three Phase Diode Rectifier Using Field Programable Gate ArraySundar Rajan Giri Thulasiraman, Christober Asir RajanThis study describes a novel method in improving the input current total harmonic distortion as well as power factor of a three-phase diode rectifier circuit. In this method, three bidirectional switches comprising MOSFET and four diodes are used across the three-phase supply and load. In a three-phase rectifier only two diodes conduct at any given time. As a result, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePower Series Solution for a Two-step Reactive-diffusive Equation with Variable Pre-exponential FactorE.A. Adebile, O.K. Koriko, U.S. IdiongWe discussed in this research a power series method for solution of a two-step reactive-diffusive equation with variable pre-exponential factor. A transformation was used to fit in the geometry of the model to allow an asymptotic series expansion which is invoked in a two compartmental regions with respect to the spatial variable. Adequate matching conditions were used at the interface … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effects of Power Usage on Five Power Modes in South Africa Using Multivariate TechniquesBusanga Jerome Kanyama, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseSouth Africa contends with the lack of access to secure affordable energy. This affects the country’s ability to provide reliable power to consumers. This paper investigates the source of energy ‘power mode’ such as electricity, gas, paraffin, solar and other (firewood and cow dung) and the effects of power usage in cooking, heating and lighting at household consumption level using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2018 · 8,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHARMONICS REDUCTION IN FRONT END RECTIFER OF UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES WITH ACTIVE CURRENT INJECTIONT. Chandrasekar, B. Justus Rabi, A. KannanHarmonics are the by-products of modern electronics devices so it is necessary to mitigate the harmonics and offer techniques to mitigation of harmonics. It is greatly hampered by a three phase rectifier used as a front-end ac-to-dc converter in many systems. High power factor is achieved by injecting high-frequency currents into the three-phase rectifier. This study presents the high power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 6,803 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsControl Strategy for Discontinuous Conduction Mode Boost Rectifier with Low Total Harmonic Distortion and Improved Dynamic ResponseH.S. AthabDue to its simplicity, the discontinuous conduction mode boost rectifier is potentially the least expensive active line-harmonics reducing circuit. Problem statement: The line current however, shows considerable distortion when the peak input voltage is close to the output voltage, As a result, the input power factor is poor. This study proposes a simple, low-cost method to reduce the line harmonics. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
