Abstract

An enhancement of a conventional PI controller used on grid connected power factor corrector (PFC) systems is suggested in this paper. The transient length is reduced by applying two different methods. The first one consists of an auxiliary unit which increases the error signal, while the second one is a hybrid controller which completely replaces the basic PI controller when DC-link voltage drop is detected. The applied control method is based on hybrid controller proposed in the literature for dc-dc power converters. In order to apply this method to the PCF case the controller was properly analyzed for variable input voltage and simulation results demonstrate the theoretical findings.
