Aerial vehicle electrical power system and methods of supplying regulated voltage and regulating power variances in a tethered aerial vehicle

An aerial vehicle electrical power system comprising:

• an aerial vehicle having a plurality of propulsion devices;
• a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) carried by the aerial vehicle;
• at least one electrical circuit carried by the aerial vehicle, wherein the at least one electrical circuit has a plurality of amperage boost regulators, each in parallel with one of a plurality of speed controllers of the plurality of propulsion devices, respectively, wherein the amperage boost regulators in parallel with the plurality of speed controllers provides regulated voltage to the plurality of speed controllers;
• a tether connected between the aerial vehicle and a power source positioned remote from the aerial vehicle, wherein electrical power is transmitted to the aerial vehicle and at least a portion of the plurality of LEDs through the tether;
• an electrical isolator connected between each of the speed controllers and a flight controller, wherein each of the speed controllers is electrically isolated from the flight controller, wherein the flight controller is connected to a power distribution module, wherein the power distribution module is connected in parallel to one of the plurality of amperage boost regulators, wherein a control signal transmitted from the flight controller to one or more of the speed controllers is throttled to compensate for a voltage variance across the one or more of the speed controllers;
• and
• a signal throttle connected between each of the speed controllers and the power distribution module or integrated within each of the speed controllers.
