Abstract: This syudy is based on the reduction of power quality issues, using converter topology for Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) applications. While concentrating on the parameters such as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Power factor and output voltage DC-DC converter topology is compared. On the performance analysis of Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter (SEPIC) and CUK converter, all the above parameters for the various duty ratio are analyzed and measured. To obtain steady state output voltage of both the converter are made to be operated in the closed loop system using PI Controller. In order to reduce the switching losses and achieving the Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) the switching frequency of the Series Resonant Parallel Loaded Inverter (SRPLI) made to be greater than the resonant frequency. To analyze the above parameter for the various duty cycle value of the above converter topology are designed by using MATLAB/Simulink Model. The observed values of THD, power factor and output voltage are tabulated and compared.
