Abstract
The paper is devoted to energy efficiency analysis of power factor corrector based on boost converter by modeling in Matlab Simulink. The different types of pulse-width modulation, including trailing-edge modulation, leading-edge modulation and doubleedge modulation, were investigated. The study shows, that using modern semiconductor devices with modulation in the frequency range 20-180 kHz, it is possible to build an active power factor corrector with high performance (efficiency up to 97%, total harmonic distortion of the input current 7-13%, power factor 0,992-0,997). At frequencies less than 100 kHz the use of leading-edge PWM or double-edge PWM instead of trailing-edge PWM is more efficient based on power factor and total harmonic distortion of the current.
