Description
Summary:The main contribution of this study is to show the effect of light-emitting diode (LED) modelling in the design of offline drives. The authors propose the use of a source voltage and resistance model (SVRM), consisting of a threshold voltage source in series with the characteristic resistance, for the modelling of the LED. The offline drive used for the analysis is the flyback converter operating in discontinuous conduction mode. The equivalent circuit is analysed by superposition and the AC circuit is analysed with phasors. The analysis has proven that the flyback converter can be modelled as a current source feeding the output capacitor in parallel with the load. Likewise, the analysis demonstrated that the current ripple is always greater than the voltage ripple when an LED is used as a load. In order to validate the theoretical analysis, a design methodology for the flyback converter with the SVRM as a load was developed. The designed circuit was simulated in Spice and implemented in a prototype. Experimental results using an LED as load are compared with the same circuit using a simple resistance as load. The experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis with an error of
