Method and architecture for reduction in vehicle wiring
First Claim
1. A system for power conversion and distribution, said system comprising:
- a first generator substation receiving power from a first electrical generator;
a first main substation for distributing converted power to at least one load, said load being local to said first main substation;
a ring bus including ring bus feeders; and
at least one satellite substation for powering a remote load,wherein said ring bus feeders connect said first generator substation and said first main substation in a ring arrangement, and said at least one satellite substation receives power from said ring bus through a branch substation.

Abstract
Systems and methods perform power conversion and distribution. A system for power conversion and distribution, according to one embodiment comprises: a first generator substation (70) receiving power from a first electrical generator (10); a first main substation (100) for distributing converted power to at least one load, said load being local to the first main substation (100); a ring bus including ring bus feeders (1000, 2000); and at least one satellite substation (700) for powering a remote load, wherein the ring bus feeders (1000, 2000) connect the first generator substation (70) and the first main substation (100) in a ring arrangement, and the at least one satellite substation (700) receives power from the ring bus through a branch substation (500).
