Modeling and Control of Bridgeless Single-Switch Non-Inverting AC-DC Cuk Converter in DCM

In this paper, an averaged nonlinear model of a bridgeless single-switch non-inverting ac-dc Cuk converter in DCM is derived. In addition, a current-mode control scheme is designed to operate the power converter in buck and boost modes during line and load variations. In contrast, the previous research endeavors of the bridgeless Cuk converter presented a single operation mode, and accommodation of large disturbances has not been discussed. The proposed control method is compared with the classical PI controller to investigate their performance. MATLAB simulation results show that the proposed control scheme improves the dynamical response, tracks the reference voltage, and provides wide operating range.
