Switched Capacitor Energy Buffer Architecture
High energy density because the switching network is operated such that while the voltage seen at the buffer port varies only over a small range, the voltage of the individual capacitors varies over a wide range.-Longer life and higher reliability because film capacitors are used instead of electrolytic capacitors.-High efficiency because the switching network need operate at only very low (line-scale) switching frequencies.-Reduce loss by taking advantage of soft charging of the energy storage capacitors.-High efficiency across the full operating range because the proposed buffer architecture exhibits losses that reduce as energy buffering requirements reduce.
