Abstract :Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PHEVs); consist of a front-end boost rectifier, which incorporates a power factor correction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PFC); circuit for battery charging. Bridgeless interleaved insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BLIL); PFC boost converter topology is proved as a standard PFC converter as it has high efficiency, reduced input current ripple, and reduced electromagnetic interference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EMI);. This paper proposes a digital nonlinear control technique that employs a resettable integrator to shape the input current of the converter in phase with the input voltage to achieve high input power factor. This control approach rejects power source and load perturbations better than linear feedback control methods. This is accomplished by summing up the sensed input current of a BLIL converter with a fictitious current synthesized with the input voltage. In this work, a BLIL converter is analyzed for its input power factor improvement, voltage stress across the devices, and dynamic response under variable supply and load conditions using simulation. The hardware is tested for a 300 W BLIL boost converter to validate the simulated results. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with that of conventional average current mode control. The experiment and simulation results prove that the resettable integrator controller shows a better performance than the conventional controller.
