A system for operating a power generation system within a battery storage/discharge mode includes a power convertor having a DC link, a switching module coupled to the DC link, a storage device, and a filter coupled between the storage device and power converter. The filter may correspond to a normal mode filter configured to limit normal mode voltage from being applied to the storage device. A common mode filter may be associated with the storage device. The storage device may correspond to one or more batteries while the power generation system may correspond to a wind-driven generator.
