Analysis and Considerations for Deadbeat Predictive Current Control of Boost PFC Converter

The single-phase boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter has become an essential front-end converter in most power electronic systems. The need to ensure good converter performance under constraints of high power density and low costs has made converter control challenging. Deadbeat Predictive Current Control (DPCC) can offer fast control action; however, careful digital implementation is essential to ensure high performance. This paper analyses and presents the various control implementation aspects to be considered for DPCC of the single-phase boost PFC converter with the help of analytical, simulation and experimental studies.
