This paper presents the theory and application of feedforward current control for boost single-phase ac-dc converters with power factor correction. The proposed feedforward signal involves the instantaneous line voltage and the derivative of the reference current. The new control method is compared to existing feedback and feedforward control methods and is shown to significantly reduce input current harmonic distortion, particularly for applications where the current loop crossover frequency is relatively low compared to the line frequency. Implementation of the proposed control using analog devices and the associated issues, such as performance sensitivity to parameter variation and uncertainties, are presented. Analysis results are complemented by numerical simulation and experimental results from a prototype converter. Targeted applications of the proposed method are airborne systems where the line frequency is high, as well as low-cost digital control for terrestrial 50-60-Hz systems where the current loop crossover frequency is limited by the speed of the digital controller.
