Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of initializing a set of controllable units in an electrical system. The method comprises: A) obtaining, by a controllable unit controller module in a sequence of the controllable units, a discovery message on a non-addressable data pathway; B) broadcasting on an addressable data bus, by the controllable unit controller module, an identity of the functional unit; C) transmitting the discovery message to another controllable unit controller module in the sequence of the controllable units by way of the non-addressable data pathway; and D) recording, by the system controller module, the broadcasted identity of the controllable unit.

Abstract: A modular power system includes a plurality of electronic modules, the plurality of modules is arranged in a manner that each of the modules is detachable from the others, and adjacent modules are in fluid communication with each other through a passage, and at least one thermally activated element is disposed within each said passage. In normal operation, the thermally activated element is in an unexpanded state, and fluid communication between the plurality of modules is allowable through a space between the thermally activated element and the passage, and in a failure event when at least one of the modules fails, the thermally activated element is activated and expanded to block the passage between the failed module and the other modules. A method of mitigating failure propagation between a plurality of modules in the modular power system is also described.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for aircraft power distribution include a bipolar high voltage direct current source component; an electrical loading component capable of drawing electrical power from the bipolar high voltage direct current source component; a set of switching components configured to selectively couple power from the bipolar high voltage DC source component to the electrical loading; and a transient suppression component. The transient suppression component is configured to limit current flowing through the first or the second subset of the set of switching components when the first and the second subsets are not in the same state.

Abstract: Multi-semiconductor SSPCs that solve bus level problems affecting systems as well as controller level problems affecting individual multi-semiconductor SSPCs are disclosed. Bus level and controller level problems adversely affect multi-semiconductor SSPCs and their associated systems. The disclosed multi-semiconductor SSPCs solve both bus level and controller level problems by implementing controlled rate-change of voltage (dv/dt) ramp-on rate, to ensure that the voltage on the input bus does not collapse when a multi-semiconductor SSPC is commanded closed and that a minimum amount of power is being dissipated evenly across the switching semiconductors.
