Analysis of power factor corrections for obtaining improved power factors of switching mode power supply

This article discusses such an important issue as the power factor of Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) and its improvement through Power Factor Correction (PFC). The power factor shows how effectively uses the consumption of electric energy by certain loads connected to the power distribution system with Alternative Current (AC), which is very critical for the electricity-producing industry. The number of power factors is a dimensionless value that can vary from -1 to 1. Thus, in an electric power system, a load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of transferring useful power, which may cause overloading of the power grid and lead to over-expenditure of electricity. Otherwise, designing power factor correction (PFC) into modern switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) has evolved over the past few years due to the introduction of many new controller integrated circuits (IC). Today, it is possible to design a variety of PFC circuits with different modes of operation, each with its own set of challenges. As the number of choices has increased, so has the complexity of making the choice and then executing the new design. In this article, the design considerations and details of operation for the most popular approaches are provided.

Rancang Bangun Sistem Catu Daya dengan Metode Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Berbasis Arduino untuk Aplikasi Electrospinner

Research about power supplies has been developed for various requirement. The power supply is used to supply electronic devices and laboratory-scale equipment, one of which is electrospinner. Electrospinner is an instrument used to make nanofibers consisting of several components, namely: power supply, high voltage, syringe pump, and collector drum. Electrospinner requires a stable supply of voltage so that the system can work well and requires a lot of voltage supply to supply components from the electrospinner. Arduino-based switching mode power supply (SMPS) is designed in this research. Arduino-based SMPS makes it possible to produce a stable supply with many outputs. Arduino as a PWM generator is used to control the power supply output voltage based on duty cycle. The results of the study addressed the duty cycle affecting the output of the power supply. The output voltage generated by the power supply can be set from 0-100 V with an accuracy of 98.19%, an error of 1.81% and a precision of 0.02% which is stated by the variation of the coefficient. The power supply produced also has an extra output voltage of 15 VCT and 15 V.

Perancangan Dan Implementasi Passive Emi Filter Pada Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS)

Kebutuhan akan perangkat elektronik dengan frekuensi yang tinggi menyebabkan meningkatnya jumlah Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) yang memiliki dua jenis yaitu Conducted Emission dan Radiated Emission. Solusi dari mitigasi EMI tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan filter EMI. Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) merupakan sumber daya bagi hampir seluruh perangkat elektronik, namun SMPS ini juga sumber EMI untuk perangkat lain atau bahkan perangkat itu sendiri. Banyak perangkat elektronik yang beredar dipasaran namun belum memenuhi standar EMC. Dalam hal ini mitigasi EMI yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan menggunakan filter EMI eksternal pasif. Dengan filter pasif ini EMI dari SMPS dapat diredam tanpa memerlukan energi tambahan untuk filter itu sendiri. Penelitian ini akan melakukan perancangan filter EMI untuk meredam noise conducted emission menggunakan sebuah passive EMI filter (PEF) pada SMPS. Filter PEF yang telah dirancang dan diujikan dapat digunakan pada SMPS 1 dan SMPS 2 dengan noise conducted emission sebelum filter sebesar 97,86 dBµV yang diredam menjadi 33 dBµV dan menghasilkan redaman noise conducted emission yang sangat baik (hingga 64,86 dBµV) dan memenuhi standar yang ditetapkan (CISPR22 Class B).
