Abstract
A power mesh system and method comprising at least three polyphase power devices of a plurality of polyphase power devices, each having a phase connection for each phase, where each polyphase power device has each phase connection coupled to at least one phase connection of another polyphase power device to form a two dimensional array of power devices.
Claims17
A power mesh system comprising:
- at least three polyphase power devices of a plurality of polyphase power devices, each having a phase connection for each phase, where each polyphase power device of the at least three polyphase power devices has each phase connection coupled to at least one phase connection of another polyphase power device from the plurality of polyphase power devices to form a two dimensional array of power devices such that (i) a current of each polyphase power device of the plurality of polyphase power devices is in proportion to a total system current of the two dimensional array of power devices, and (ii) a voltage of each polyphase power device of the plurality of polyphase power devices is in proportion to a total system voltage of the two dimensional array of power devices.
A method for power conversion by a power mesh system comprising:
- converting power by a plurality of polyphase power devices, the plurality of polyphase power devices comprising at least three polyphase power devices each having (a) a phase connection for each phase and (b) each phase connection coupled to at least one phase connection of another polyphase power device from the plurality of polyphase power devices to form a two dimensional array of power devices, such that (i) a current of each polyphase power device of the plurality of polyphase power devices is in proportion to a total system current of the two dimensional array of power devices, and (ii) a voltage of each polyphase power device of the plurality of polyphase power devices is in proportion to a total system voltage of the two dimensional array of power devices.
