Abstract:
1. An electrical power distribution system, comprising: a first AC power source; a second AC power source; a first DC bus; a first AC to DC rectifier, the first AC power source being connected to the first DC bus via the first AC to DC rectifier a second AC to DC rectifier, the second AC power source being connected to the first DC bus via the second AC to DC rectifier; an electrical load management control unit, the electrical load management control unit partially shifting power extraction between the first and second AC power sources by changing an AC voltage output of one of the first and second AC power sources relative to an AC voltage output of the other of the first and second AC power sources, to blend electric power from the first and second AC power sources, thereby dynamically changing a DC voltage output to the first DC bus from one of the first and second AC to DC rectifiers; a third AC power source; a second DC bus, the second AC power source being connected to the second DC bus via the second AC to DC rectifier; a third AC to DC rectifier, the third AC power source being connected to the second DC bus via the third AC to DC rectifier; and the electrical load management control unit shifting power extraction between the second and third AC power sources by changing an AC voltage output of one of the second and third AC power sources relative to an AC voltage output of the other of the second and third AC power sources, thereby changing a DC voltage output to the first DC bus from one of the second and third AC to DC rectifiers.
