Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of ...

The topic of this paper is the development of guidelines for the practical application of a new power module realizing a bridge leg of a three-phase/switch/level ...

Knowledge is power, allowing data centers to track and correct harmonics and power factor, avoiding costly energy waste, ...

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits--a kind of front-end AC/DC converters--are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Researchers have proposed a new way to control power factor correction circuits that could lead to sensorless power control.

Power factor (pf) is the ratio between real power (P) flowing to the load, and the apparent power (S) in the circuit: pf = P/S. It is a sinusoidal waveform and therefore expressed as a dimensionless ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Recently, you may have noticed advertisements for a device that claims to reduce your monthly home electricity bills. The advertising literature states that you are paying for the added electricity ...
