Abstract
A bi-directional converter voltage controlled current system and methods are disclosed. A bi-directional converter provides a bi-directional current to an electrical bus according to a variable duty-cycle control signal. Also, a bi-directional current sensing sensor senses the bi-directional current to provide a sensor voltage signal proportional to the converter current. Further, a variable duty-cycle controller controls a duty-cycle of the variable duty-cycle control signal to control a voltage of the electrical bus based on an error signal.
