Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for supplying electrical power to a transport refrigeration unit. The apparatus comprises: a power converter including a rectifier, a first inverter and a DC link; a power distribution unit electrically coupled to the DC link; and a second inverter with an input for electrically connecting to an electrical generator and an output for electrically connecting to the power distribution unit or the DC link. The DC link is electrically connected to an output of the rectifier and an input of the first inverter. An input of the rectifier is electrically connectable to a power source external to the apparatus. An output of the first inverter is electrically couplable to the transport refrigeration unit. The second inverter is configured to convert an alternating current voltage supplied at the input into a direct current voltage for supply at the output.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus configured to supply electrical power to a transport refrigeration unit, the apparatus comprising a power converter and a photovoltaic system including a photovoltaic cell. The power converter includes a rectifier, an inverter and a DC bus internal to the power converter. The DC bus is electrically connected to an output of the rectifier and an input of the inverter, an input of the rectifier is electrically couplable to a power source external to the apparatus at a connection port, and an output of the inverter is electrically couplable to the transport refrigeration unit.
