The methods are those in continuous-current mode operation, known as peak current mode control with slope compensation, and average-current mode control. The principle of operation, the theoretical analysis, a design example and the main experimental results are presented for both proposed control techniques.100-109porElectric current controlElectric power factorHarmonic analysisModal analysisPulse width modulationharmonic distortionElectric rectifiersArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-00341867652-s2.0-0034186765.pdf6427185658143370
