AC/DC converters using full-wave rectifiers draw a highly distorted, non-sinusoidal input current because the diodes conduct only during portions of the AC cycle, leading to harmonic-rich waveforms and poor power factor. These Harmonic currents flowing through the impedances in the electrical utility distribution system can cause several problems such as voltage distortion, excessive heating, noises and vibrations, reduced efficiency and resonance issues. These harmonics distorts the supply voltage and the voltages of other electrical equipment connected to the same electrical service and reduce the capability of the line to provide energy. These factors have forced to use power factor correction in power systems by using boost converters which we have for many years. In this paper by using boost converters, we can maintain unity power factor along with continuous conduction mode even though the output voltage is very sensitive to duty ratio variations and regulation in voltage.
