Abstract:
1. A distributed power system for delivering DC power to a plurality of loads, comprising; a plurality of power converter modules having associated therewith a DC/DC power conversion operation, each disposed proximate an associated one of the loads, each of said converter modules having associated therewith a switching pulse generator for generating switching pulses; a distributed power line for distributing input power to each of said modules; a data communication line for distributing command data between said modules, each of said modules uniquely addressable over said data communication line; a timing communication line for distributing timing information to each of said switching pulse generators in each of said modules; and a master controller for generating commands and communicating them to said data modules over said data communication line, said master controller operable to generate timing information over said timing communication line to each of said modules for controlling said associated switching pulse generator.
