Article A High-Efficiency Single-Stage Isolated Sepic-Flyback Ac-Dc Led Driver(Mdpi, 2023) Gurcam, Kenan; Almali, Mehmet NuriRegulating LED current and voltage is critical to maintaining a constant luminous flux in AC- or DC-powered LED lighting circuits. Today, users require constant current drivers that can provide a wide range of output voltages to drive different numbers of series-connected LED arrays. This work proposes an LED driver by combining an isolated SEPIC converter operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and a modified Vienna rectifier. The proposed LED driver offers a single-switch control structure by adding a Vienna rectifier to the integrated SEPIC-FLYBACK converter. This driver structure provides many advantages over traditional bridge rectifier structures. The prototype circuit was tested in an 18 W continuous current mode (CCM) to verify its feasibility. As a result of the values obtained from both simulation and prototype circuit models, it has been shown to provide many of the following advantages: 95% high efficiency, high reliability, 4% low total harmonic distortion, 97% high power factor, and 70 V low switching voltage. This work meets class C 3-2 and IEC 61000 standards.Article Single-Stage Modified Vienna Rectifier Sepic Ac-Dc Led Driver(Elsevier, 2025) Gurcam, Kenan; Almali, M. NuriThis paper presents an innovative approach by combining a modified first-stage Vienna rectifier with a single- stage SEPIC converter. The proposed Vienna rectifier structure significantly reduced the switch stress. This allows the use of switches with low voltage values and reduced resistances. The use of a non-electrolytic capacitor in the output stage contributed to extending the life of the LED driver. These features enhance the efficiency of the proposed driver. The recommended LED driver complies with the mandatory standards specified in IEC61000-3-2 for Class C loads. To verify the effectiveness of this proposed system, a setup of an 18 W LED driver operating was presented and simulated. This research aims to address power factor, switch stress, and harmonic distortion issues commonly associated with LED driver circuits, contributing to more efficient and compatible LED lighting systems.
