Control of the Bidirectional Buck-Boost Converter Operating in Boundary Conduction Mode to Provide Hold-Up Time Extension

A hold-up time extension circuit (HTEC) is used to charge and discharge an auxiliary capacitor. This capacitor stores the energy required to extend the operation time of critical loads experiencing short duration failures (SDF) at the DC bus to which they are connected. This paper presents complete...
