    摘要: The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and provides an energy conversion device and a vehicle. The energy conversion device includes a reversible pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier, a motor coil connected with the reversible PWM rectifier, a one-way conduction module, and a capacitor. A DC charging circuit or a DC discharging circuit is formed by an external DC port with an external battery by using the energy conversion device, and a driving circuit is formed by the external battery with the reversible PWM rectifier and the motor coil in the energy conversion device. The one-way conduction module is connected between a first end of the capacitor and a second end of the external DC port, or the one-way conduction module is connected between a second end of the capacitor and a first end of the external DC port.

    摘要: A power distribution system includes a bidirectional power converter, a battery, and a controller. The bidirectional power converter is operable to (i) convert AC power received at AC terminals to DC power at DC terminals and (ii) convert DC power received at the DC terminals to AC power at the AC terminals. The bidirectional power converter is disposed within a converter stack formed by a plurality of power converters having DC terminals that are coupled to each other in series. The battery is arranged to be selectively couplable to the DC terminals of the bidirectional power converter. The controller is configured to (i) determine that the DC voltage across the DC terminals of the bidirectional power converter is below a threshold voltage and (ii) couple the battery to the DC terminals of the bidirectional power converter based on the determination that the DC voltage is below the threshold voltage.
