Abstract:
1. An energy transfer multiplexer to control the flow of energy through an energy conversion system coupled between a first energy source/load and a second energy source/load comprising a bi-directional inverter including a first plurality of energy transfer control elements and a second plurality of energy transfer control elements operatively coupled by a resonant transfer link to selectively control the direction of energy flow between said first and second plurality of energy transfer control elements to control the operation of the energy conversion system in response to a plurality of predetermined conditions, said energy transfer multiplexer further including a plurality of sensors including sensors coupled between a logic section and said first plurality of control elements, said second plurality of control elements and said resonant transfer link to sense the voltage levels of each of said first plurality of control elements and each of said second plurality of control elements and the voltage level across said resonant transfer link and to generate voltage level signals corresponding to each voltage level and to feed the voltage levels signals corresponding to each voltage level to said logic section for processing and to generate control signals fed to said first and second plurality control elements to control the flow of energy between the first energy source/load to the second energy source/load.
