The topic of this paper is the development of guidelines for the practical application of a new power module realizing a bridge leg of a three-phase/switch/level ...

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between real power (P) flowing to the load, and the apparent power (S) in the circuit: pf = P/S. It is a sinusoidal waveform and therefore expressed as a dimensionless ...

Researchers have proposed a new way to control power factor correction circuits that could lead to sensorless power control.

Two related phenomena, both called “power factor,” cause problems on electrical power lines. In each case, the ac current being drawn by the load is not exactly synchronized with the ac voltage on the ...

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Power factor correction (PFC) converters are critical components in modern power electronics, designed to improve the efficiency and quality of power distribution by minimising harmonic distortion in ...
