1. A system comprising:
- a generator to generate electrical power;
a DC storage or source device (DCSSD);
a power bus coupled to said generator; and
a bi-directional conversion unit coupled between said power bus and said DCSSD, said bi-directional conversion unit capable of transitioning between a first direction wherein electrical power flows from said power bus to said DCSSD and a second direction wherein electrical power flows from said DCSSD to said power bus.

Abstract
A power generation system is described for supplying electrical power to a load from at least one of a generator and a battery. The power generation system includes a power bus coupled to the generator and a bi-directional conversion unit coupled between the power bus and the battery. The bi-directional conversion unit is capable of transitioning between a first direction wherein electrical power flows from the power bus to the battery and a second direction wherein electrical power flows from the battery to the power bus.
