1. A system for energy conversion, comprising:
a first switch coupled to a first line in which an alternating current signal is conveyed;
a second switch coupled to a second line in which the alternating current signal is conveyed, and to the first switch, the first switch to, responsive to a magnitude of a first voltage from the first line to a terminal exceeding a magnitude of a second voltage from the second line to the terminal, pass current from the first line to the terminal;
the second switch to, responsive to the magnitude of the second voltage exceeding the magnitude of the first voltage, pass current from the second line to the terminal; and
a controller to:
responsive to a determination of a first grid condition, decouple a grid from the first line without decoupling the first line or a second line from a split-phase device or the first switch;
responsive to a determination of a second grid condition, couple the grid to the first line without decoupling the first line or a second line from the split-phase device or the first switch;
generate control signals corresponding to a first duty cycle for the first switch and a second duty cycle for the second switch;
adjust the first duty cycle based on a magnitude of a current flowing to the terminal wherein the current flows to the terminal from a connection, the connection between the first switch and the second switch, wherein:
a duration of an active portion of the first duty cycle is equal to a duration of the active portion of the second duty cycle; and
the duration of the active portion of the first duty cycle is less than 0.5;
receive an indication of a battery condition for a battery of an electric vehicle;
receive an indication of a grid condition; and
switch the first switch and the second switch based on the battery condition and the grid condition.
