Hybrid Distributed Low Voltage Power Systems

A secondary power source, comprising:

• at least one input channel configured to receive an input signal from a primary power source;
• a storage portion coupled to the at least one input channel, wherein the storage portion stores the input signal, wherein the storage portion converts the input signal to a reserve signal;
• and
• at least one output channel coupled to the storage portion and a power distribution module (PDM), wherein the at least one output channel is configured to deliver the reserve signal to the PDM for use by at least one low-voltage (LV) device.

A power distribution module, comprising:

• an input channel configured to receive a line voltage power from a primary power source during a first mode of operation;
• a secondary channel configured to receive a reserve signal from a secondary power source during a second mode of operation;
• a power transfer device coupled to the input channel and the secondary channel, wherein the power transfer device generates a low voltage (LV) signal using the line voltage power during the first mode of operation, and wherein the power transfer device generates a reserve LV signal using the reserve signal during the second mode of operation;
• and
• an output channel coupled to the power transfer device, wherein the output channel is configured to send the LV signal to at least one first LV device during the first mode of operation, and wherein the output channel is configured to send the reserve LV signal to the at least one first LV device during the second mode of operation.
