Energy and Size Reduction of Grid-Interfaced Energy Buffers Through Line Waveform Control

Grid-interface converters with power factor correction (PFC) generally require large energy buffer capacitors to maintain a constant power output. These buffer capacitors can occupy 20%-30% of total system volume, and their size is unaffected by typical methods of miniaturizing power converters such...
