Hysteresis Control of the Pseudo Boost PFC Converter

In this paper, a control design for the the Pseudo Boost PFC converter with the application in the charger for electric vehicles, is formulated and verified. The rectifier ends up being energy efficient because due to containing smaller number of switches. The converter is controlled using a method involving the minimum Lyapunov function derivative and a hysteresis. This control provides an averaged value of the converter sine input current, and thus, decreasing the THD value. Theoretical results are complemented with the corresponding simulations and experimental waveforms.
