Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for managing power utilizing synchronous common coupling. An apparatus comprises a synchronous common coupling, a plurality of ports, and a plurality of stacks connected through the synchronous common coupling. Each stack comprises at least one stage, with each stage comprising at least one source/load bridge, at least one flux bridge, and a DC bus. The at least one source/load bridge of one stage of each stack is connected to a source or load through one of the plurality of ports, the at least one flux bridge of each stage is connected to an electrically isolated winding in the synchronous common coupling, and the at least one flux bridge of each stage is connected to the at least one source/load bridge of the stage through the DC bus. The synchronous common coupling is configured to exchange power between each of the plurality of stacks.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of utilizing synchronous common coupling for power management, the method comprising the steps of:\n connecting a power source to a first source/load port of a power management system, the power management system comprising a plurality of stacks, a first stack of the plurality of stacks connected to the first source/load and comprising at least one stage, the at least one stage comprising at least one source/load bridge, a DC bus, at least one flux bridge, and control circuitry, the at least one source/load bridge connected between the first source/load port and the DC bus, and the at least one flux bridge of the stage is connected between the DC bus and an electrically isolated winding of the synchronous common coupling; and controlling, by the control circuitry, a flow of power between the first source/load port and the synchronous common coupling by switching the at least one source/load bridge to synchronize power between the first source/load port and the DC bus and switching the at least one flux bridge to synchronize power between the DC bus and the electrically isolated winding of the synchronous common coupling, the synchronous common coupling configured to exchange power between the plurality of stacks.
