Abstract
In the present scenario, there is a steady increase in the usage of electronic equipment. During power conditioning, non-sinusoidal line currents are being drawn by these equipment, because of the presence of nonlinear elements. Non-sinusoidal currents produce harmonics and lead to distortion in line voltage waveform. Passive filters can be used, but they are not optimal in terms of cost, size and weight. In this chapter, Boost Converter with Active PFC is designed to obtain the power factor near to unity with less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and reduced output voltage ripple. Design is simulated and verified using MATLAB/Simulink.
