Input Voltage and Current Sensorless Control of a Single Phase AC-DC Boost Converter.

It is well known that measuring the input voltage and current, as the feedforward and feedback terms, are vital for the controller design in the problem of power factor compensation (PFC) of an AC-DC boost converter. Traditional adaptive scenarios corresponds to the simultaneous estimation of these variables are failed because the system dynamics is not in the classical adaptive form. In this paper, the system dynamics is immersed to a proper form by a new filtered transformation to overcome the obstacle. The phase and amplitude of the input voltage along with the input current is estimated from the output voltage with global convergent. An application of the proposed estimator is presented in conjunction with a well-known dynamic controller.
