Power Factor Correction Based on RISC Controller

  • Conference paper
Advances in Power Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (PEIE 2011)

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 148))

Abstract

This paper presents a simulation study of a PFC controller and its implementation on a microcontroller. Modeling and Simulation for PFC is carried out on ORCAD, a prototype laboratory model based on a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Controller) PIC 16F877 has been fabricated. This work aims to provide an exposure of microcontroller based design of controller relating to Power Electronics. Power Circuit based on IGBT and control circuit based on 16F877 is designed to perform the function of PFC. Simulation and experimental results are presented to exhibit the merits of the proposed scheme.
