Systems and methods where a power-packet-switching converter is used to interface a synchronous AC connection (e.g. to the utility power grid, or to a microgrid) to a DC source (e.g. a battery bank, or possibly a photovoltaic cell bank) and to a non-synchronous AC power source (e.g. a wind turbine or a motor-generator). The power-packet-switching converter not only provides voltage conversion and other functions (e.g. DC to AC, AC-AC with frequency change, 2-phase to 3-phase, power factor correction etc.), but also provides phase correction to convert asynchronous AC to synchronous AC. |
