energy-storage capacitor to store the unbalanced energy. However, in a single-stage PFC converter, unlike in a two-stage PFC converter, energy-storage-capacitor voltage VB is no longer loosely regulated at a constant value because the controller is used to regulate the output voltage Vo, not VB. As a result, in the single-stage PFC converters

In both PFC schemes, there is a storage capacitor between PFC and DC-DC stages. All of the input energy in two-stage ones, and all or some of the input energy in single-stage ones is transferred to this capacitor via PFC converter. Then, output voltage regulation is provided by using this power via DC-DC converter at both PFC con-verters.

The discontinuous current mode boost power factor correction (PFC) converter automatically achieves PFC when the duty cycle is kept constant in a line cycle; however, there is large third harmonic in the input current, and the third harmonic has the initial phase of π in respect of the fundamental component.
