The Cuk-based Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter has emerged as a promising topology for achieving high power factor and low total harmonic distortion in AC-DC power conversion applications. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of Cuk-based PFC converters, examining their operational principles, control strategies, design methodologies, and performance characteristics. The research investigates the fundamental advantages of the Cuk topology for PFC applications, including continuous input and output currents, reduced electromagnetic interference, and improved power quality. Through detailed theoretical analysis and comparative studies, this work demonstrates the superiority of Cuk-based PFC converters over conventional boost PFC topologies in specific applications. The paper also addresses practical implementation challenges, including component selection, control circuit design, and thermal management considerations. Performance evaluation through simulation and experimental results validates the theoretical predictions and demonstrates the practical viability of Cuk-based PFC converters for various power electronics applications.
