1. A digital power receiver system supplied by a digital power distribution system, comprising;
- one or more individual receiver circuits that are each connected to an individual transmission line pair originating from a digital power transmission source and where the one or more individual receiver circuits are configured to convert digital power on the transmission line pair to analog power;
one or more receiver output bus segments that electrically connect groups of the one or more individual receiver circuits in parallel;
one or more power conditioning circuits configured to connect to the one or more individual receiver circuits or to the one or more receiver output bus segments;
one or more power conditioning circuit output bus segments that electrically connect output terminals of the one or more power conditioning circuits to provide a combined power output; and
a control circuit that is operable to monitor at least one voltage within the digital power receiver system and to act to regulate output power of at least one power conditioning circuit to improve at least one of safety, efficiency, resiliency, control and routing of power.

Abstract
Digital power is regulated by transmitting digital power via a transmission line pair to at least one receiver circuit in a digital power receiving system. The digital power is converted into analog power in the receiver circuit. The analog power is transmitted to at least one power conditioning circuit, and output power is transmitted from the power conditioning circuit. At least one voltage in the digital power receiver system is monitored; and, in response to that monitoring, the output power from the power conditioning circuit is regulated to improve at least one of safety, efficiency, resiliency, control, and routing of power.
