Abstract

This paper presents an electronic ballast for discharge lamps. The ballast consists of two stages: i) a boost-buck chopper that performs the power factor correction and provides an approximately variable DC link voltage to drive the second stage and ii) a half-bridge MOSFET inverter with an improved series-parallel inductor-capacitor-inductor (LsCpLp) resonant circuit to drive the high-frequency discharge lamp. The electronic ballast designed here is a multi-purpose ballast which was experimentally tested for high-pressure sodium discharge lamps 150 W and metal halide lamps 150 W. It was revealed that this mode of operation makes it possible to vary and dim the light of the lamp and to improve the quality of the power supply while reducing the harmonic currents in networks.

Abstract

This paper presents the design, implementation, and experimental validation of a 150 W two-stage light-emitting diode (LED) driver integrating a power factor correction (PFC) stage and a half-bridge LLC resonant converter for public lighting applications. The problem addressed is the insufficient power quality, limited efficiency, and poor harmonic performance of conventional LED drivers used in street lighting. The proposed method combines an advanced PFC front-end with an LLC resonant converter optimized using first harmonic approximation (FHA) to achieve high efficiency, stable output regulation, and soft-switching operation. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in power quality, with the input current total harmonic distortion (THD) reduced from 134% to 17%, a near-unity power factor, a regulated LED output of 31.6 V/4.72 A, and a conversion efficiency exceeding 95%. The significance of this work lies in providing a high-performance, standards-compliant driver that supports reliable, energy-efficient, and grid-friendly public lighting with reduced operational costs.
