Abstract:
A power distribution system comprises a plurality of energy storage modules coupled in series. A plurality of electrically isolated power converters are each coupled across one or more of the energy storage modules. When enabled, the power converters provide a low voltage output to an output of the power distribution system. A control system controls the power converters to provide the low voltage output. The control system selectively enables the power converters to balance states of charge of the energy storage modules.
