Method and system for balancing power distribution in dc to dc power conversion

A method of balancing power-distribution in a direct current to direct current (DC to DC) power-conversion system, the power-conversion system comprising a plurality of channels connected to a load, the plurality of channels connected to a corresponding plurality of power sources, the method comprising:

• obtaining a first power, the first power being a maximum power of a first power source, wherein the first power source is connected to a first channel of the plurality of channels;
• computing a reference power based on at least one power output of a plurality of power outputs, wherein the plurality of power outputs correspond to the plurality of channels;
• outputting the first power when the reference power is at least equal to the first power;
• and
• outputting the reference power when the reference power is less than the first power.

A power-conversion system for direct current to direct current (DC to DC) power conversion, the power-conversion system comprising:

• a plurality of channels, the plurality of channels capable of supplying power to a load, wherein each channel of the plurality of channels comprises:
• a power source, the power source providing an input power to the channel;
• one or more DC to DC converters, each DC to DC converter of the one or more DC to DC converters being connected to the power source, wherein the each DC to DC converter is configured to convert the input power to an output power based on a reference power;
• a mode controller, the mode controller being connected to the one or more DC to DC converters, wherein the mode controller is configured to compute the reference power based on a plurality of power outputs corresponding to the plurality of channels;
• and
• a communication path, the communication path enabling communication between the plurality of channels.
