Abstract

A power flow control device intended to be used in a mesh network. The device includes a first voltage source connected between a first terminal (B1) and a third terminal (B3). A second voltage source is connected between a second terminal (B2) and the third terminal (B3). A current source is connected alternately to the first voltage source and the second voltage source and configured to ensure a transfer of energy between the first voltage source and the second voltage source. A switching means is arranged to allow the current source to be connected alternately in parallel with the first voltage source or in parallel with the second current source.
