Abstract:
1. A system for managing electrical power comprising: a plurality of storage devices; a plurality of DC-DC power converters, wherein a corresponding individual DC-DC power converter is coupled to each of the plurality of storage devices, outputs of the plurality of DC-DC power converters coupled in parallel to form a distribution bus; a plurality of sensors, wherein a corresponding individual sensor is coupled to an output of each of the DC-DC power converters for power monitoring of the system; a control unit coupled to the plurality of sensors and to the plurality of DC-DC power converters to regulate an output signal of each DC-DC power converter based on signals received from the sensors; wherein each DC-DC power converter has a plurality of trim pins, the control unit is coupled to each DC-DC power converter to select a specific trim pin to allow for incremental changes in the output of a desired DC-DC power converter.
