Abstract

A system includes: an alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) converter (AC-DC converter) including a bulk capacitor, the AC-DC converter connectable to a line voltage; a DC to DC converter (DC-DC converter) connected to the AC-DC converter, the DC-DC converter including: one or more transformers having a secondary side connectable to a battery, and a bridge rectifier connected to the secondary side of the one or more transformers, the bridge rectifier including a bridge rectifier switch; and one or more controllers configured to control an operation of the bridge rectifier switch to control a voltage of the bulk capacitor.
