Improved power quality opto-couplerless Cuk converter for flickerless LED lighting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents a single stage isolated Cuk converter for low power light emitting diode (LED) driver systems. An opto-couplerless feedback control using primary-side regulation technology is presented in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). A complete analysis of the converter is carried out using pulse-frequency modulation technique. The primary focus of this work is to develop a cost effective solution for an LED driver with improved power quality and efficiency. For low power lighting, this work results in a maximum power factor (PF) of 0.99 and minimum total harmonic distortion (THD) in AC mains current of 3.37% over universal AC voltage. The proposed Cuk topology offers high efficiency and constant voltage-constant current (CV-CC) control. Moreover, for high efficiency, coupling capacitors at both sides of the transformer have been optimized to a film capacitor with low dissipation factor and long life as compared to commonly used electrolytic capacitors. A 27 W prototype with a converter efficiency of 88% has been developed to validate the proposed approach.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
