Abstract
Methods and systems for smart transfer switch circuits and operation, and for operation of transfer and/or cutoff switches in combination with a power-packet-switching-architecture (PPSA) power converter. The transistors of the transfer and cutoff switches, and the transistors of the phase legs of the PPSA power converter if present, preferably all use double-base bipolar transistors which have low on-state series resistance as the switching elements.
