1. An assembly comprising:
a power interface between a first power device and a second power device, said power interface operable to supply power from the first power device to the second power device in a first direction and supply power from the second power device to the first power device in a second direction, said power interface including a first power converter coupled to the first power device and a second power converter coupled to the second power device and the first power converter including one or more controllable gates operable to convert AC and DC power from the first power device to supply AC/DC power to the second power device in the first direction and the second power converter including one or more controllable gates operable to convert AC and DC power from the second power device to supply AC/DC power to the first power device in the second direction; and
a control module coupled to the one or more controllable gates to operate the first and second power converters to supply AC/DC power from the first power device to the second power device in the first direction and supply AC/DC power from the second power device to the first power device in the second direction.
