Conversor CA.-CC. flyback com elevado fator de potência orientado ao acionamento de LEDs de potência

Abstract

This work aims to study, design, simulate and obtain experimental results from a flyback converter operating in discontinuous mode (DCM), to trigger a fixture of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Furthermore, it is desired that the converter has high power factor, high efficiency, low harmonic distortion of input current, high life (through the possibility of replacing the electrolytic capacitors for metal film capacitors) and low cost. Initially, the paper presents a brief study of lighting LEDs, LEDs for simplified electrical model, as well as a review of some converters used to drive this type of light source. Then it analyzed the operation of the flyback converter in DCM mode fed from the rectification (bridged) the utility voltage. Besides the theoretical study, the simulation of the converter is presented in order to validate the design of the converter as a basis for comparison with experimental results. The transformer design (coupled inductors) flyback converter has special emphasis in this work, because this element is essential to raise the efficiency of the converter. So part of this work is devoted to the study of transformer losses. This is done by an adaptation of standard techniques in this area via a teaching order to build repeatability study. From the theoretical study on the losses in the transformer, programs developed in MATLAB and MICROSOFT EXCEL aid the design of the magnetic element of the flyback converter. These two programs are designed to facilitate the comprehensive equating of losses and assist in developing a project with high efficiency flyback transformer raising therefore the overall efficiency of the converter. Employing the programs drawn up, the project is calculated and experimental results are obtained from measurements performed on a prototype scale. These results are analyzed and compared with the theoretical results and simulation. At the end we provide a simplified analysis of the cost of the converter components and also presents the main conclusions of this work.
