Just rectify the AC, if the voltage isn’t too much.
You don’t need a buffer unless the power fluctuates.

Rectifying the AC, even with a full bridge rectifier, will still drop to zero every time the AC voltage crosses the zero line. So usually a capacitor is added to buffer this output. Its capacity depends on the size of the load.

Good point. Pulsed isn’t for everything
