In this article, a novel voltage-sensorless controller for the single-phase ac/dc power conversion systems with a self-adaptive power-decoupling function is proposed. Existing control strategies for achieving power decoupling usually require additional active switches or extra measurement circuits to a certain power-decoupling controller. By employing the proposed method, the decoupling voltage could be accurately evaluated with the fluctuations of the other measured state variables in the original converter, and the issues of instability and inaccuracy on power-decoupling control under transient conditions could be solved. Furthermore, the proposed control scheme involves a phase-shift modification to improve the power quality as well as achieve accurate power-decoupling reference, which could eliminate the harmonic influence on the original PFC circuit. Finally, a 1.2-kW single-phase PFC prototype using SiC-based semiconductor switching devices is tested to validate the proposed control scheme. The experimental results demonstrate that the power factor of 0.99 with total harmonic distortion around 3%, and a dc-link voltage with 5% ripple could be achieved with the proposed control strategy.
