Bidirectional active power conditioner with DC/AC inverter in low-frequency switching

摘要

A bidirectional active power conditioner includes a DC side, a bidirectional DC/DC power converter, a DC/AC inverter and an AC side. The DC side electrically connects with a DC source while the AC side electrically connects with a load and an AC source. The bidirectional DC/DC power converter is controlled via high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) switching so as to generate a predetermined DC voltage or DC current while the DC/AC inverter is controlled to convert the predetermined DC voltage or DC current into a predetermined AC voltage or AC current.
