Abstract:
In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a multi-mode energy router (MMER) is provided. The MMER includes a functional block of power electronics under processor control. In addition, the MMER includes a plurality of switches that can be controlled to route power from specific sources or loads to the input or output of the functional block. The MMER enables a single functional block of power electronics to selectively provide bi-directional power conversion between AC and DC components and between DC and DC components.

Claim (Index 12):
A method, comprising:\n controlling a first set of switches disposed between an AC power component and a first side of a functional block of power electronics to selectively couple the AC power component to the first side of the functional block, wherein the functional block comprises a triple half-bridge architecture having the first side and a second side opposite the first side; controlling a second set of switches disposed between a first DC power component and the first side of the functional block to selectively couple the first DC power component to the first side of the functional block; controlling a third set of switches disposed between the first DC power component and the second side of the functional block to selectively couple the first DC power component to the second side of the functional block; controlling a fourth set of switches disposed between a second DC power component and the second side of the functional block to selectively couple the second DC power component to the second side of the functional block; and controlling the power electronics of the functional block to selectively convert power between the AC power component and the first DC power component, to convert power between the AC power component and the second DC power component, and to convert power between the first DC power component and the second DC power component.
