Abstract: An electrical power conditioning for an electrical power conditioning system comprises a first terminal for connecting either an electrical power generator or a battery; a second terminal for connecting either a battery or an electrical power generator, respectively; a third terminal for connecting a power bus; characterized in that it further comprises: a reactive structure connected between said second terminal and the ground, formed by a serial connection of a first inductor, a capacitor and a second inductor, first and second nodes being provided between the first inductor and the capacitor, and between the capacitor and the second inductor, respectively; at least one output switching structure for connecting the third terminal to the first and second nodes through respective first and second switches and a third in-series inductor; and at least one input switching structure for connecting the first terminal to at least the first node through a third switch.

Abstract: A solar array system includes at least one solar array and at least one solar array regulator. The solar array regulator has an input port to be connected to the solar array, and an output port to be connected to a power bus. The solar array comprises a switching voltage converter comprising a step-down (PC1) and a step-up (PC2) power cell connected in cascade; and a control circuit for driving said voltage converter in a step-up, a step-down or a direct energy transfer mode, depending on an input control signal and on at least one feedback signal (SILF) indicative of an operating condition of said switching voltage converter; characterized in that said at least one feedback signal (SILF) is indicative of an intensity of an electrical current (IL) flowing between said step-down and said step-up power cells, whereby the control circuit implements an internal current feedback control.
