Abstract
The load with a poor power factor speeds up the flow of electrons when compared to the load with high power factor in the electrical power systems. The current extracted from the system is distorted by non-linear loads. In this paper, to achieve active power factor correction Boost converter topology is utilized. The boost converter topology must meet two concurrent conditions:1) the boost converter’s input value must be set lesser than the output voltage value and 2) the voltage at any point of time must be set in such a way that it is always proportional to the current. This scheme utilizes a positive output luo converter which is connected to rectifier circuit to offset the harmonic current from the rectifier. This paper presents a new control scheme to accomplish a power factor closer to unity.

Summary
The demand for the electric power increase drastically everywhere leading to the consumption of fossil fuels and other conventional, non-conventional energy resources. Due to the variation in temperature and climate it is impossible to completely rely on the renewable energy resources to satisfy the energy demand. The global ventures and Research and Development endeavour is centred on decreasing sustainable power source generation cost. DC – DC boost converters help in improving the proficiency of overall sustainable power system. Most of power sources are used to deliver the power at the voltage ranging from 12VDC to 70VDC. In order to meet the grid requirements, the resultant voltage must be increased or boosted to a range of around 200VDC or 400VDC depending on the grid requirements. Depending on the voltage levels and applications, the converter topology can be selected
