Fig 21 shows the circuit diagram of battery-bidirectional
inverter. Here the charging and the discharging of the battery
is based on its capacity (i.e.) when the battery voltage is more
than the ac output voltage then it discharges and when the
battery voltage is less than the ac output voltage it charges.
