This paper presents a closed loop control of an active-clamped full-wave quasi-resonant boost converter with zero-current-switching (ZCS) for power factor correction. Possibility to incorporate higherswitching frequency and has some potency to reduce switching losses. Power factor improvement and high efficiency is achieved with a constant output voltage and DC output voltage is regulated by using closed loop control .The concept of the proposed switchingscheme results lesser switching loss, higher efficiency, possibility to have higher switching frequency, and has potential to reduce converter's conducted EMI. This paper also presents voltage regulation using closed loop system and the simulation results are verified.

This paper focuses on the modelling of the series resonant converter proposed as a DC/DC converter for DC wind turbines. The closed-loop control design based on the discrete time domain modelling technique for the converter (named SRC#) operated in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) is investigated. To facilitate dynamic analysis and design of control structure, the design process includes derivation of linearized state-space equations, design of closed-loop control structure, and design of gain scheduling controller. The analytical results of system are verified in z-domain by comparison of circuit simulator response (in PLECS™) to changes in pulse frequency and disturbances in input and output voltages and show a good agreement. Furthermore, the test results also give enough supporting arguments to proposed control design.
