Implement Power Factor Correction for CCM Boost Converter
This example shows how to correct the power factor using a PFC pre-converter. This technique is useful when non-linear impedances, such as switch mode power supplies, connect to an AC grid. As the current flowing through the inductor is never zero during the switching cycle, the boost converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The inductor current and the output voltage profiles are controlled using proportional-integral control. During start up, the reference output voltage is ramped up to the desired voltage.
