Abstract
A power management and distribution system, including a power feed line configured to supply electric power of a given power feed line voltage, a plurality of loads to be supplied with power from the power feed line, each of the loads requiring power of a characteristic load voltage, and a plurality of solid state power controllers (SSPCs) connected between the power feed line and the plurality of loads, each of the solid state power controllers configured to selectively connect a respective load of the plurality of loads to the power feed line or to disconnect the respective load of the plurality of loads from the power feed line.
Claims15
A power management and distribution system, comprising
- a power feed line configured to supply electric power of a given power feed line voltage,
- a plurality of loads to be supplied with power from the power feed line, each of the loads requiring power of a characteristic load voltage,
- a plurality of solid state power controllers (SSPCs) connected between the power feed line and the plurality of loads, each of the solid state power controllers configured to selectively connect a respective load of the plurality of loads to the power feed line or to disconnect the respective load of the plurality of loads from the power feed line;
- wherein the power management and distribution system further comprises at least one power conversion module configured to convert electric power from the power feed line voltage to a specific load voltage required by at least one of the loads, the at least one power conversion module connected in between the power feed line and the solid state power controllers assigned to loads requiring the specific load voltage;
- and
- a solid state power controller module including a substrate having mounted thereon each of the power conversion modules and each of the solid state power controllers assigned to the respective power conversion module.
