Abstract

A system for providing bi-directional power flow and power conditioning for high-voltage applications. The system including a normally-off four-quadrant power electronic switch having two gates and two normally-on junction field-effect transistor. The normally-off four-quadrant power electronic switch and the two normally-on junction field-effect transistors are coupled to one another in a bi-cascode configuration.
