Abstract
1The Phase I work will investigate the feasibility of designing unity power factor high power supplies. The study will concentrate on the use of active correction methods. Boost and Buck types dc-dc converters can be used as buffers between the rectifier and the storage capacitor. In this system, preregulator forces the input current to be of the same shape as the input voltage. Such methods are used in the industry but are limited to low power in the range up to 500w. Besides, the most suitable converter topology-the boost converter, does not provide isolation between the input and the load.
