General Power Converter Startup

Dr. Hess's project is to design and test a prototype general power converter for the Navy, and although it is designed for the Navy is use is not only aboard ships, therefore it must be semi-versatile. it will need to be of a 2 man carry weight and a volume of not more than 0.5 m^3. The final product should also be capable of being setup in a half a day.

Background
Provide a system which can start microcontroller which operates the general converter. The startup time is assumed to be between 1 and 2 minutes before the microcontroller can take over. The microcontroller will need a clean 5 volts DC without the aid of batteries.

Specifications
General Power Converter Specifications:
 * Input/Output Voltage: 100-600 Volts
 * Input/Output Frequency: 0-200kHz
 * Power Conversion: 250kWatts
 * Efficiency 94-97%

Engineering Specifications:
 * Use new technology materials such as Gallium-Nitride MOSFETs and that for reliability no batteries be used.

Design Specifications:
 * A battery matrix of 10 X 1 was
