Abstract:
1. A power converter for use with a power generator, comprising: a high side input point and a low side input point for receiving substantially DC power from the power generator; an input capacitor connected across the high side and low side input points; a first circuit that receives voltage across the capacitor and converts the voltage into a high frequency AC voltage while rejecting or minimizing oscillations in the received voltage; a second circuit that converts the high frequency AC voltage into a high frequency substantially sinusoidal AC voltage or current; a third circuit, including an energy storage component, that converts the high frequency substantially sinusoidal AC voltage or current from the second circuit into (i) a bus voltage comprising a low frequency substantially sinusoidal AC output voltage and a DC voltage; or (ii) a bus current comprising a low frequency substantially sinusoidal AC current and a DC current; and a fourth circuit that converts the bus voltage or the bus current into an AC current for delivery to a power distribution grid at a power distribution grid frequency; wherein the high frequency substantially sinusoidal AC voltage is isolated from the bus voltage, or the high frequency substantially sinusoidal AC current is isolated from the bus current.
