Abstract:

The necessary and sufficient condition for utilization of power is based on power quality. That is qualitative power should be transmitted from sending end to receiving end. Qualitative power is the transmission of power with negligible losses .Generally non linear loads are main source of harmonics. This thesis furnish a new scheme of compensation of the harmonic current produced by a diode rectifier in order to secure a power factor nearer to unity and regulate the DC-bus voltage. This is control technique employed one PFC Boost Converter, as it is connected in shunt with the diode rectifier in order to compensate the harmonic currents which are haggard by single phase diode rectifier. Generally non-linear loads are the main source of harmonics. The PFC boost converter draws purely sinusoidal current from source. In presence of diode rectifier the PFC boost converter draws current in such a way that the total current drawn from source becomes purely sinusoidal.

Keywords:

power factor correction (PFC), Total harmonic distortion (THD).
