Abstract
A power conversion system may include a first power converter to transfer power from a power source to a load, an energy storage element coupled in series between the first power converter and the load, and a second power converter to transfer energy between the energy storage element and the load. The system may be configured to provide a sinusoidal output suitable for grid-tie applications while maintaining constant input power.
