Bidirectional power conversion systems provide the ability to change power
attributes to and from a component. Current bidirectional power
conversion systems use a unidirectional power converter for each
direction. The integration of the two normally independent power
converters results in a bidirectional power converter with nearly half
the size, weight, volume, cost and complexity. Described are embodiments
of bidirectional power conversion systems that allow power transfer
between two or more components without requiring the use of separate
unidirectional power converters.
