    摘要: In at least one embodiment, a bi-directional power conversion device including a DC/DC converter, an inverter, and a bi-directional store device is disclosed. The DC/DC converter is configured to generate a first direct current (DC) output in response to a first DC input in a consumer mode and to receive a second DC input to power the low voltage zone in a vehicle charge mode. The inverter is configured to generate an alternating current (AC) output to power at least one consumer device in response to the first DC output in the consumer mode and to provide the second DC input to the DC/DC converter in response to an AC input signal from an AC power source in the vehicle charge mode. The bi-directional storage device is configured to store the first DC output in the consumer mode and to store the second DC input in the vehicle charge mode.

    摘要: A single-phase AC/DC electric power conversion apparatus includes an indirect matrix converter having an input interface to receive a first alternating current (AC) signal and an output interface to produce a second AC signal, where the first AC signal has a grid frequency. A transformer has a primary winding and an electrically isolated and magnetically coupled secondary winding. A coupling inductor is connected in series between the output interface of the indirect matrix converter and the primary winding. An H-bridge switching arrangement is connected to the secondary winding and produces an output signal having a DC component and at least one AC component. The at least one AC component has a second order harmonic of the grid frequency. An active filter reduces the second order harmonic AC component. A modular conversion apparatus for three-phase power replicates the single-phase apparatus as a module for each phase and omits the active filter.

    摘要: A DC-AC converter is disclosed. The DC-AC converter generates an output AC signal, and has an input DC-AC converter which generates a first AC signal, a transformer device which receives the first AC signal and generates a second AC signal, and a first bidirectional switch which selectively connects a first transformer output terminal and a first output terminal. The DC-AC converter also has a first capacitor which powers the first bidirectional switch, a first charging circuit which charges the first capacitor, and a second bidirectional which selectively conduct connects a second transformer output terminal and a second output terminal. The DC-AC converter also has a second capacitor which powers the second bidirectional switch, and a second charging circuit which charges the second capacitor. Each of the bidirectional switches includes series connected transistors between first and second input/output terminals, and a transistor driver which drives the transistors.
