Abstract:
1. A control system comprising: a first switching module; and a second switching module operably connected to the first switching module, the first switching module and the second switching module arranged in series between positive and negative portions of a DC bus; wherein the control system is configured to be selectably connected, at a location interposed between the first switching module and the second switching module, to at least two of: wherein, when the control system is selected for connection with one of the at least two of the energy dissipation system, external energy charging system, or internal energy storage system, the first and second switching modules control the path of a current distributed through the one of the at least two of the energy dissipation system, external energy charging system, or internal energy storage system, and wherein the control system is configured to be selected for connection with the one of the at least two of the energy dissipation system, external energy charging system, or internal energy storage system by placing the one of the at least two of the energy dissipation system, external energy charging system, or internal energy storage system in electrical communication with the location interposed between the first switching module and the second switching module.
