A high power factor converter is provided. The high power factor converter includes a rectifier, a reactive power control circuit and a converter circuit. The rectifier is utilized for receiving and converting an input AC voltage in to an input DC voltage. The reactive power control circuit is coupled to the rectifier for performing a reactive power control operation based on the input DC voltage. The converter circuit is coupled to the reactive power control circuit for converting the input DC voltage into an output voltage.

The present invention provides a novel wind power charging circuit with three-phase, single-stage and bridgeless framework. This novel wind power charging circuit is developed based on an isolated single-ended primary-inductance converter (SEPIC) having buck-boost converting function, and can be applied in a wind turbine system for increasing the operation scope of the input voltage provided by a wind turbine of the wind turbine system, so as to facilitate the wind turbine system include wide-range operation scope under different wind speeds, such that the electric energy production and the electromechanical conversion efficiency of the wind turbine system are able to be effectively enhanced. In addition, because this novel wind power charging circuit does not include any bridgeless PFC circuits and bridge-type diode rectifiers, the low conducting loss as well as the whole circuit volume and assembly cost of the wind turbine system can be simultaneously reduced.

A half-bridge resonant bidirectional DC-DC converter circuit comprising a half-bridge buck-boost converter and a resonant DC-DC converter. The half-bridge buck-boost converter is coupled to an external DC power source to achieve a wide input voltage range. The resonant DC-DC converter is coupled to the half-bridge buck-boost converter to act as a later stage circuit of the half-bridge buck-boost converter. The resonant DC-DC converter is used to control the direction of the bidirectional power flow and respond to the half-bridge buck-boost converter under a fixed frequency mode to convert the input of the half-bridge buck-boost converter to an induced current.
