Incompleteness of bifurcation diagram in predicting the behaviour of Ćuk converter in discontinuous conduction mode

Abstract

Abstract The bifurcation phenomena have been studied in current mode‐controlled Ćuk converter considering continuous conduction as well as discontinuous conduction mode of operation. Some peculiarities have been observed in discontinuous conduction mode, which indicate some incompleteness of the bifurcation diagrams in providing details of the system behaviour.
