    Çorapsız, Muhammed Reşit; Kahveci, Hakan; Çorapsız, Muhammed Fatih

    This paper deals with the determination of the relationship between the power factor and the harmonic distortion in a single-phase AC (SPAC) voltage controller. The aim of this study is to investigate the change of power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD) during different phase triggering angles (PTA). Firstly, the advantages of using thyristor instead of triac in single-phase AC voltage controllers operating at high frequencies are mentioned. Secondly, the power factor and total harmonic distortions for single-phase AC voltage controllers are theoretically examined. Finally, the relationship between power factor and total harmonic distortion are demonstrated by both simulation and experimental studies. However, it is monitored that, at lower output voltages, the power factor (PF) is pretty much reduced and total harmonic distortion (THD) is significantly increased.

    Voltage Control of Cuk Converter with PI and Fuzzy Logic Controller in Continuous Current Mode

    Çorapsız, Muhammed Reşit; Çorapsız, Muhammed Fatih; Yilmaz, Mehmet

    In today's energy systems, many equipment operates with Direct Current (DC) voltage. However, it is not always possible to obtain the voltage level required for the operation of these equipment from standard power supplies. For this reason, DC-DC converters are used to achieve the desired voltage values for equipment with different DC voltage levels. These converters are divided into three general categories, named Buck, Boost and Buck-Boost. The most preferred converter is the Cuk converter with low output ripple voltage, which can operate in both buck and boost modes. In this study, a detailed analysis of the Cuk converter, which is frequently used in Photovoltaic (PV) Panels was performed and different control methods of the output voltage were proposed. While performing this analysis, the dynamic model of the Cuk converter was created in which, Proportional-Integral (PI) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) are used to control the output voltage of the Cuk converter. The performances of both controllers were compared with respect to performance parameters such as steady state error, settling time and rise time. When the results obtained were evaluated as a whole, it was observed that FLC achieved the desired reference with less rise and settling time. In this study, modeling and controller applications of Cuk converter are realized by using MATLAB / SIMULINK program.
