CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR POWER CONVERTER WITH BIDIRECTION CHARGING AND DISCHARGING

Embodiments are disclosed of an electronic power conversion apparatus. The apparatus includes a first circuit comprising a first plurality of bidirectional switches coupled in parallel and a second circuit comprising a second plurality of bidirectional switches coupled in parallel. The apparatus further includes a power converter circuit coupling the first and the second circuit. The apparatus includes a control circuit operatively coupled to the first and second plurality of bidirectional switches. The control circuit controls a state of each of the first and second plurality of bidirectional switches.
