Abstract:
1. A system for distributing electrical power, comprising: a first high voltage AC power distributing unit including a first high voltage AC bus, which is selectively connected to a first high voltage AC generator, and a first start bus; a second high voltage AC power distributing unit including a second high voltage AC bus, which is selectively connected to a second high voltage AC generator, and a second start bus; a first high voltage DC power distributing unit including a first rectifier unit, a first high voltage DC bus, and a first motor controller, said first rectifier unit being selectively connected to said first high voltage AC bus of said first high voltage AC power distributing unit to convert high voltage AC power to high voltage DC power, which is provided to said first high voltage DC bus; and a second high voltage DC power distributing unit including a second rectifier unit, a second high voltage DC bus, and a second motor controller, said second rectifier unit being selectively connected to said second high voltage AC bus of said second high voltage AC power distributing unit to convert high voltage AC power to high voltage DC power, which is provided to said second HVDC bus, wherein said first high voltage DC bus is selectively connectable to said second high voltage DC bus, said first high voltage AC bus is selectively connectable to said second high voltage AC bus, and said first start bus is selectively connectable to said second start bus, and said system provides redundancy for both high voltage AC power distribution and high voltage DC power distribution.
