 ABSTRACT

This project presents a bridgeless Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter

(SEPIC) PFC is presented which has lesser number of components, less
conduction losses and high power factor. There are several current control
techniques for achieving a sinusoidal input current waveform with low
distortion. The typical technique for power factor correction (PFC) is peak
current mode control (PCMC). These control techniques are evaluated based on
control strategy, circuit components, and total harmonic distortion of input
current. In an effort to achieve high efficiency AC/DC power supplies,
bridgeless converters that eliminate the bridge diodes have recently become
popular. In bridgeless converter, conduction losses are reduced as the number of
simultaneously conducting components on input current path is lesser
