The invention discloses a novel
power factor correction device, comprising an AC (
alternating current) source, a
rectifier bridge circuit, a Boost circuit, a decoupling circuit, a load and a
control circuit, wherein the output end of the AC (
alternating current) source is connected to the input end of a
rectifier bridge, a
signal is converted into steamed bun
waves after being processed by the
rectifier bridge circuit and serves as the input end of the Boost circuit, the output end of the Boost circuit is connected with the load, the decoupling circuit is connected in parallel with the front end of an output
capacitor Co of the Boost circuit, and the
control circuit outputs the
signal to the decoupling circuit. According to the scheme of the invention, the
ripple power in an AC / DC power conversion device or a DC /
AC power conversion device is transferred to a
decoupling capacitor, and thus the limitation of
DC bus voltage ripples can be broken; and a feedforward control strategy is adopted, and the
compensation effect of a bidirectional Buck / Boost power decoupling circuit can be greatly improved. Based on the above advantages, a compensation circuit is added to a conventional powerfactor correction circuit, and thus the
capacitance value of the output
capacitor can be reduced, and the
power factor correction of non-polarized electrolytic capacitors can be realized.
