Abstract
The present invention relates to a converter for transferring power between a first DC system of DC voltage V1 and a second DC system of DC voltage V2, the converter comprising: - a first AC/DC converter for transforming DC voltage V1 into a first single phase AC voltage V1ac, of frequency ?, root mean square line-neutral magnitude V1acm and angle a1; a second AC/DC converter for transforming DC voltage V2 into a second single phase AC voltage V2ac, of frequency ?, root mean square line-neutral magnitude V2acm and angle a2; and two inductors L1, L2 and a capacitor C, wherein the first terminals of the inductors and capacitor are connected together, the second terminal of inductor L1 and the second terminal of the capacitor C are connected to the first AC voltage V1ac, and the second terminal of inductor L2 and the second terminal of the capacitor C are connected to the second AC voltage V2ac; wherein the value of the capacitor C, inductor L1 and inductor L2 are selected to enable required power transfer and to minimise current in inductor L1, and/or minimise current in inductor L2.
