Solution Approach 1:

As the storage battery discharges during prolonged power outages, its voltage naturally drops. The boost circuit compensates for this by dynamically increasing its duty cycle to maintain stable output voltage. This dynamic compensation allows the system to extend power supply duration while preventing voltage instability, flicker, and brightness variations.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The feedback mechanism continuously monitors the output voltage during battery discharge and adjusts the boost circuit's switching duty cycle accordingly. This ensures that even as the battery voltage drops over time, the output voltage remains stable, preventing flicker and maintaining consistent lighting brightness throughout the extended power supply duration.
