1. A bidirectional active power conditioner, comprising:
- a DC side connected to a DC source;
a bidirectional DC/DC power converter connected to the DC side, said bidirectional DC/DC power converter being controlled via high-frequency PWM switching so as to generate a predetermined DC voltage or a predetermined DC current;
a DC/AC inverter connected with the bidirectional DC/DC power converter, said DC/AC inverter converting the predetermined DC voltage or the predetermined DC current generated from the bidirectional DC/DC power converter into a predetermined AC voltage or a predetermined AC current; and
an AC side connected with the DC/AC inverter, said AC side further connected with one or both of a load and an AC source.

Abstract
A bidirectional active power conditioner includes a DC side, a bidirectional DC/DC power converter, a DC/AC inverter and an AC side. The DC side electrically connects with a DC source while the AC side electrically connects with a load and an AC source. The bidirectional DC/DC power converter is controlled via high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) switching so as to generate a predetermined DC voltage or DC current while the DC/AC inverter is controlled to convert the predetermined DC voltage or DC current into a predetermined AC voltage or AC current.
