To satisfy IEC1000-3-2 harmonic regulations, power factor correction (PFC) techniques have become attractive in recent years. In single-stage PFCs which integrates the PFC stage with a dc/dc converter into one stage, input current shaping and output voltage regulation are performed using one converter. The bulk capacitor voltage would change in a wide range and increase especially in DCM operation of the input current shaping stage and CCM operation of the DC/DC stage, under light load condition. To reduce high bulk capacitor voltage stress, the conventional single-stage boost-flyback PFC, uses the negative magnetic feedback (NMF) winding, in series with the boost inductor charge branch, which causes dead angle in the input current at the low input voltages. In this dissertation, the dead angle is eliminated by using a compensating winding (CMP) in series with the NMF inductor at low line voltages. Using extra switch and hard switching of the main and auxiliary switches are two major drawbacks of this structure. To reduce switching losses, a single-stage ZVT PWM flyback PFC is proposed. In the proposed circuit, the main and auxiliary switches turn on and off under ZVT and ZCS condition, respectively and the dead angle is reduced by using a compensating winding in parallel with the boost branch. Using an auxiliary switch is the major drawback of this structure. In the other proposed structure, to omit the extra switch, a compensating winding branch, coupled with the boost inductor and in parallel with the NMF winding branch, eliminates the input current dead angle and the main switch turns on and off under soft switching condition by a passive lossless snubber. Finally, to reduce the bulk capacitor value and size, a single-stage ZVT PWM buck-boost, flyback PFC is introduced. In all the proposed converters, the circuit operation and design considerations are presented, and to confirm the feasibility of the proposed converters, the experimental results are provided.
