Abstract
This paper deals with the switching regulation of boost power factor correction (PFC) converter under large and quick load fluctuation to ensure tight output voltage regulation and unity PF (UPF) at line side. In this sense, the sliding-mode control (SMC) technique based on current-controlled manifold is proposed. Input current distortion is limited even during light loading condition. In addition, the dead-zone issue related to light load near to the crossover of input current is resolved in this paper. To execute the proposed SMC algorithm, equivalent control approach is used for the selection of sliding coefficients, ensuring the system stability. The control operation manipulates both inner SM current controller to frame input current and an outer PI controller to maintain desired regulated output voltage. For experimental validation, a 500-W, 390 V/dc boost PFC prototype, controlled by dSPACE 1104 signal processor is framed. The presented simulation and experimental results infer that the proposed converter controller offers UPF, tight output voltage regulation, and percentage total harmonic distortion standard even under fluctuating load behavior. In this paper, the performance of the proposed control scheme is experimentally verified with different load behaviors and external references, which explains the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed system.
