Systems and methods for handling peak power requirements of a medical imaging device

A system for handling a peak power requirement of a medical imaging device, the system comprising:

• a power source;
• a power distribution unit;
• a direct current link configured to operatively couple the power source to a plurality of loads;
• one or more energy storage devices operatively coupled to the direct current link;
• at least one controlling unit configured to:
• determine a first voltage corresponding to the direct current link, a second voltage corresponding to the one or more energy storage devices, or a combination thereof;
• compare the first voltage with a first reference value and the second voltage with a second reference value;
• and
• regulate at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage based on the comparison to handle the peak power requirement of the medical imaging device.

A controlling unit for handling a peak power requirement of a medical imaging device, comprising:

• a measurement subunit configured to determine a first voltage corresponding to a direct current link, a second voltage corresponding to one or more energy storage devices, or a combination thereof, wherein a power source is operatively coupled to a plurality of loads via the direct current link, and wherein the one or more energy storage devices are operatively coupled to the direct current link;
• a comparison subunit configured to compare the first voltage with a first reference value and the second voltage with a second reference value;
• and
• a regulating subunit configured to regulate the first voltage, the second voltage, or a combination thereof based on the comparison to handle the peak power requirement of the medical imaging device.
