Power converters are essential for the energy transition towards a system based on renewable electric energy generation, the electric power storage and the electrification and integration of the new vehicles. This power converter is adapted to handle renewable energy efficiently: from generation, storage to the electrification and integration of new vehicles. It is fault-tolerant, avoiding internal failure of the switches, saving money and network problems. Additionally, it is internally reconfigurable, remaining in operation after the fault (automated), while minimizing redundant components.
