The conventional PFC circuit mainly aims at the current i flowing through the power switch mosmosSinusoidal control is performed, thereby increasing the PF value. A plurality of PFC circuits and power factor correction methods are available for realizing the current i flowing through the power switch mosmosA better sinusoidal control is performed, as disclosed in the patent publication: CN104702092A, high PF values and low THD have been achieved.
In practice, in order to overcome EMI (electromagnetic interference), an input capacitor cbb is generally added to the ac input terminal of the power converter, so that the input current i is inputin=icbb+imos(ii) a Wherein icbbFor the current flowing through the input capacitance cbb, the expression is
From FIG. 2, the current i can be seencbbIs changed and is no longer sinusoidal, then even if the current i ismosRealize sinusoidal control due to current icbbResulting in an input current iinThe phase pattern changes and the conduction range becomes narrow as shown in fig. 2, therebyResulting in a reduction in PF value. Especially in the case of high input voltage or large capacitance cbb, the current icbbThe influence on the input current is larger, so the current i is influencedcbbCompensation is performed.
While the existing compensation current icbbThe method mainly comprises two methods: a. the capacitance value of the input capacitor cbb is reduced, but the low-voltage normal operation and EMI are influenced; b. slope compensation, as shown in FIG. 3, but with the addition of icbsThe positive offset value affects the control variable Vcomp of the power factor control circuit, and the current power changes, which is not easy to control.
