The exemplary A-PEBB power converter 500.A of 
The choice of which contact switch settings 395 and which power conversion mode(s) CM.n 392 are employed by the A-PEBB converter 500 when in field use will in practice depend on a variety of situational/contextual factors, including for example and without limitation: the operating conditions; available power/energy sources; expected average and/or maximum loads; system health (which may be determined by power system sensors not shown in the figures); and environmental conditions (which may be determined by environmental sensors beyond the scope of this document).
In various exemplary embodiments of an A-PEBB power converter 500, and for higher voltage and higher power applications, each A-PEBB LRU 200.A functions as a modular building block that can be stacked up/networked in parallel and/or in series to scale-up to a larger converter 500 with multiple A-PEBB LRUs 200.
