摘要:
A microgrid system in which power from a non-dispatchable energy source and power from a combustion-powered backup generator are both connected to the microgrid and its loads through a Power Packet Switching Architecture (PPSA) power converter. The converter provides voltage management and synchronization for both the backup generator power and also for the non-dispatchable power.
摘要:
A smart transformer comprises a current-modulated electronic power converter with an Alternating Current input (AC Port 1), an Alternating Current output (AC Port 2) and an optional Direct Current input/output (DC Port). A control mechanism allows the converter to provide full AC-AC conversion, changing AC voltage, phase, and power between the two AC ports, with the balance of the power supplied or delivered to the DC port that is connected to an energy storage device.
摘要:
Methods and systems for bi-directional multi-port power conversion systems and applications are disclosed. In some sample embodiments, current-modulating power converters can be used to provide conversion between synchronous and asynchronous power. In some sample embodiments, current-modulating power converters can perform power conversion can be performed to and from three-phase AC with an active neutral line. In some sample embodiments, current-modulating power converters can convert between synchronous and asynchronous power and also support three-phase AC with active neutral.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles where a multiport power-packet-switching converter provides fully bidirectional power transfer among any of an engine motor, a drive motor, a vehicle battery and/or supercapacitor, and a connection to grid.
摘要:
A car charging station in which battery buffering includes at least approximately as much energy as is required to charge one car rapidly. This is particularly advantageous when a photovoltaic array is connected through a power converter to charge the battery, and also to provide a lower rate of charge directly to the vehicle charge connections. Advantageously, a mains power connection can also be made through yet another port of the same multiport power converter.
