Claim 16:
17. A power module configured to be implemented in a power system, the power module comprising:
a first input configured to be coupled to a main-power source;
an AC/DC converter coupled to the first input;
a second input configured to be coupled to a backup-power source;
a DC/DC converter coupled to the second input;
an output configured to be coupled to one of the main-power source in a first configuration of the power module, or at least one load in a second configuration of the power module; and
a DC/AC inverter coupled to the output, wherein in a reverse mode of operation of the power module the DC/AC inverter is configured to
provide, in the first configuration of the power module, power to the main-power source, and
provide, in the second configuration of the power module, power to the at least one load,
wherein the DC/AC inverter is configured to operate in the reverse mode of operation responsive to the power module receiving a request for power from a grid controller coupled to the main-power source.
