Abstract
A power conversion system comprises a converter coupled to a power source and configured to convert a DC power to a variable AC power signal. The power conversion system may further comprise a process control unit coupled to the converter and configured to control the variable AC power signal. The power conversion system may also further comprise a transformer having a primary side and a secondary side, the primary side receiving the variable AC power signal from the converter and a passive rectifier coupled to the secondary side of the transformer. The transformer may be adapted to provide galvanic isolation between the power source and an electro-chemical process. The passive rectifier is adapted to convert the variable AC power to the variable DC power and to deliver the variable DC power to the electro-chemical processing unit.
