  • Publication number: 20160211672
    Abstract: A distributed energy conversion system may include one or more DC power sources and two or more inverters to convert DC power from the power sources to AC power. The AC power from the two or more inverters may be combined to provide a single AC output. A module may include one or more photovoltaic cells and two or more inverters. An integrated circuit may include power electronics to convert DC input power to AC output power and processing circuitry to control the power electronics. The AC output power may be synchronized with an AC power distribution system.

  • Publication number: 20150117067
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a power conversion system includes a controller to provide power control to a converter, and a distortion mitigation circuit. In another embodiment, a system includes a converter to transfer power between a power source and a load having fluctuating power demand, and a controller to provide power control, where the controller may selectively disable the power control. In another embodiment, a power conversion system includes a controller to generate a drive signal to provide power control to a power path in response to a sense signal from the power path, where the sense signal is taken from other than the input of the power path, or the drive signal is applied to the power path at other than a first power stage.

  • Publication number: 20100157632
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a power conversion system may include a controller to cause a power stage to control power to or from an energy storage device. In another embodiment, a power conversion system may include a push-pull stage and an energy storage device following the push-pull stage. In another embodiment, an integrated circuit may include power control circuitry to provide power control to a power converter, and a power switch coupled to the power control circuitry to operate the power converter. In another embodiment, a power conversion system may include two or more power converters having power control.
