Abstract
Apparatus controls a power converter 34 to interchange power between first and second electric sources, 30 and 32. Typically the first source 30 is a standard utility bus and the second source 32 is a storage battery. A controller generates control signals in response to the utility bus voltage, to a command specifying the required power interchange and to a feedback signal indicative of the actual power being interchanged. These signals control the power converter 34 to produce the required power interchange.
