Abstract
A multi-directional power conversion system for providing power to a motor of a hybrid vehicle includes an electric control unit; an electric motor which provides a driving force to the vehicle; a primary energy storage device; and a secondary energy storage device. An energy management system communicates parameters of the energy storage devices to the electronic control unit. A power manipulating device is coupled between the primary energy storage device and the secondary energy storage device that is configured to manage power between the energy sources and deliver electricity external the vehicle.
