A DC to DC Converter includes an electrical circuit that allows batteries and other electrical energy storage devices to be charged from or to discharge to a variable voltage DC bus. This electrical circuit also enables seamless integration with other energy storage devices and/or DC power sources, such as fuel cells, to provide DC power for a Power Management System. A Power Management System preferably provides both full power source management and power conditioning. The Power Management System is able to manage power flow to and from multiple, isolated power sources and energy storage devices to deliver high quality alternating current (“AC”) power to a load.
A power management system, comprising:
A method for managing multiple independent DC power sources, comprising:
A DC to DC converter, comprising:
An improved DC to DC converter having a boosting inductor connected to an input node, a clamping capacitor, a plurality of diodes, and a resonant circuit comprising a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor, wherein the improvement comprises an additional capacitor configured to stabilize a voltage.
