Systems and methods for providing power to a refrigeration unit or an air conditioner used on a hybrid vehicle. The system includes an accumulation choke, a PWM rectifier, and a frequency inverter. The accumulation choke is configured to receive a first AC power, a second AC power, and a DC power. The accumulation choke and PWM rectifier convert the received power into an intermediate DC power having a peak voltage. The PWM rectifier provides the intermediate DC power to the frequency inverter. The frequency inverter converts the intermediate DC power to an output AC power. The frequency inverter provides the output AC power to the refrigeration unit.

The invention is directed to regulating the conditioned space of an environment-controlled transport unit by identifying the product being conveyed as cargo in the conditioned space of a transport unit. A user can identify the cargo by selecting it from a menu of cargo identifiers. Once the cargo is identified, an environment control system retrieves from memory environment-control parameters as a function of the identified cargo, and regulates the environment of the conditioned space based upon the environment-control parameters.
