The Electric Power Converter functions as an uninterruptable power supply, battery management, energy conversion, micro-grid formation, and Power Factor Correction including Total Harmonic Distortion correction in real time. Uninterruptable power supply's use is for always-on, real-time, reduced distortion with functions of load reduction and management during peak load events. The Electric Power Converter is able to establish and sustain a micro-grid with multiple and varying sources of power generation and load conditions. The Electric Power Converter achieves dynamic, real-time, interactive Power Factor Correction (PFC) and advanced voltage harmonic distortion correction with a high efficiency ratio. The Electric Power converter is designed to function with the emerging Smart Grid technologies and provide an overall higher level of operating efficiency and higher quality of electrical power.
