Abstract
A hybrid energy system for providing power to a load and for providing a fast variation of DC link voltage to improve system efficiency is disclosed. The system includes a load, a direct current (DC) link electrically coupled to the load, an energy storage system having a first energy storage device and a second energy storage device arranged in series, and a bi-directional DC-DC converter electrically coupled to the DC link and to the energy storage system, the bi-directional DC-DC converter being connected to a node located between the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device and to a node connecting the second energy storage device to the DC link.
