    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a system for controlling an on-load tap changer of a transformer during reverse power flow. The method comprises determining a loss ratio factor using voltage and current values for each of a primary side and a secondary- side of a transformer. Further, the method comprises determining a relative strength of a first source connected to the primary side and a second source connected to the secondary side of the transformer based on the loss ratio factor. Thereafter, transmitting a control signal to an on-load tap changer of the transformer to regulate voltage on the primary- side or on the secondary side of the transformer based on the relative strength of the first source and the second source.

    Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure relate to a bidirectional bridgeless PFC circuit. The bidirectional bridgeless PFC circuit comprises a main circuit comprising an input inductor and configured to receive an AC voltage from an AC power supply at a first terminal of the input inductor and convert the AC voltage to a DC voltage, wherein a direction of a current flowing through the input inductor during a positive half of the AC voltage is different from a direction of the current flowing through the input inductor during a negative half of the AC voltage; a current detection circuit electrically coupled to the input inductor and configured to generate a detection signal indicating an amount of the current flowing through the input inductor only during a discharge phase of the input inductor; and a controller electrically coupled to the main circuit and the current detection circuit and configured to generate a zero-crossing signal based on the detection signal. With these embodiments, the direction of the current in the bidirectional PFC circuit can be detected with only one current detection circuit, and the zero-crossing point of the current can be easily determined. Therefore, the power consumption, the size and the control complexity of the PFC circuit can be maintained at a low level.
