Direct current bus management controller
First Claim
1. A direct current (DC) bus management system, comprising:
- a power management and distribution (PMAD) unit, including;
a source management section;
a bus management section coupled to the source management section; and
a load management section coupled to the bus management section;
a DC bus coupled to the PMAD unit;
a plurality of DC sources coupled to the source management section; and
a plurality of loads coupled to the load management section,wherein the bus management section in operation reconfigures excess DC power on the DC bus from the plurality of DC sources based on a plurality of priorities, a plurality of feedback signals and a plurality of system parameters.
