Isolated power systems are commonly found in rural and remote areas of the world. These systems represent the alternative to grid connection, where interconnection to a large grid is not viable due to high cost and/or geographical obstacles. Furthermore, power systems such as those onboard of ships, in oil exploration areas and remote mining districts are characterized by limited generating capacity, supplying loads which can consist of significant amount of motor drives and power converters. The use of series compensators (SCs) in improving voltage quality of isolated power systems is to be...

This book deals with analysis and simulation of ZVT based Boost PFC Converter with EMI Filter in PSpice software of version 9.2.The Boost converter of Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit is analyzed, designed and then simulated for resistive load. It gives better power factor at the input side and constant voltage and current at the output side. The drawback is the current has more noise i.e. EMI.The power factor is further improved using ZVS technique. In the converter circuit, the active clamping branch composed of a clamping capacitor and an active switch is placed in parallel with...
