Systems, methods, and apparatus for converting direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power

A system for converting direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power, the system comprising:

• at least one DC power source electrically coupled to a converter and operable to provide a first DC power signal to the converter, wherein the converter comprises anti-parallel diodes;
• at least one controller electrically coupled to the converter and operable to:
• transform the first DC power signal into plurality N of AC power signals;
• shift phases of the of N AC power signals by about 360/N degrees respectively a predetermined phase amount relative to at least one of the other of the plurality of AC power signals to produce N phase shifted AC power signals;
• reduce AC ripple current by combining the N phase shifted AC power signals to provide a second DC power signal, wherein the AC ripple current is reduced due to opposing phases of the N phase shifted AC power signals and convert the second DC power signal to an AC power signal.

An apparatus for converting direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one inductor electrically coupled to a converter, wherein the inductor is operable to receive a first DC power signal, wherein the converter comprises anti-parallel diodes;
• at least one switching component electrically coupled to the at least one inductor;
• and a controller electrically coupled to the at least one switching component and the converter and operable to:
• transform a first DC power signal into of N AC power signals;
• shift, via the at least one switching component, phases of the of N AC power signals by about 360/N degrees respectively a predetermined phase amount to produce N phase shifted AC power signals;
• reduce AC ripple current by combining the N phase shifted AC power signals to provide a second DC power signal, wherein the AC ripple current is reduced due to opposing phases of the N phase shifted AC power signals and convert the second DC power signal to an AC power signal.
