Transport climate control system with a self-configuring matrix power converter

A transport climate control system, comprising:

• a self-configuring matrix power converter having an operation mode;
• an inverter circuit;
• a controller;
• a first DC energy storage and a second DC energy storage;
• and
• a compressor,
• wherein the first DC energy storage and the second DC energy storage have different voltage levels;
• wherein during the operation mode, the controller is configured to control the self-configuring matrix power converter to convert a first input DC voltage from the first DC energy storage to a second DC voltage, and/or to convert a second input DC voltage from the second DC energy storage to the second DC voltage, the inverter circuit is configured to convert the second DC voltage to an AC voltage to drive the compressor.

A self-configuring matrix power converter for a transport climate control system, comprising:

• a first converter circuit;
• a transformer circuit connecting to the first converter circuit;
• a second converter circuit connecting to the transformer circuit;
• and
• at least one switch having a first state and a second state;
• wherein the self-configuring matrix power converter has an operation mode,
• wherein during the operation mode, the least one switch is controlled to be in the first state to convert a first input DC voltage to a second DC voltage, and to be in the second state to convert a second input DC voltage to the second DC voltage.
