Power management apparatuses and systems utilizing synchronous common coupling. A power management apparatus may include a plurality of ports and a plurality of electrically isolated stacks connected through a synchronous common coupling. Each electrically isolated stack may include a plurality of cascaded stages and may be connected to a source or load through one of the plurality of ports. The synchronous common coupling connects only power between each of the plurality of electrically isolated stacks and is configured to maintain electrical isolation for each of the plurality of stages in the plurality of electrically isolated stacks.

Power management utilizing synchronous common coupling

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for managing power utilizing synchronous common coupling. An apparatus comprises a synchronous common coupling, a plurality of ports, and a plurality of stacks connected through the synchronous common coupling. Each stack comprises at least one stage, with each stage comprising at least one source/load bridge, at least one flux bridge, and a DC bus. The at least one source/load bridge of one stage of each stack is connected to a source or load through one of the plurality of ports, the at least one flux bridge of each stage is connected to an electrically isolated winding in the synchronous common coupling, and the at least one flux bridge of each stage is connected to the at least one source/load bridge of the stage through the DC bus. The synchronous common coupling is configured to exchange power between each of the plurality of stacks.

The present disclosure relates to power management systems utilizing a high-frequency low voltage pre-charge. A power management system may comprise a low voltage power source, a power supply assembly connected to the low voltage power source, and a power module comprising a plurality of arrays. Each array may comprise a plurality of electrically isolated stacks connected through a synchronous common coupling. Each electrically isolated stack may comprise a plurality of stages, a multi-winding secondary, a pre-charge circuit connected to at least one of the plurality of stages, and a plurality of multi-winding isolated power supplies. Each multi-winding isolated power supply may be connected to one of the plurality of stages. The power supply assembly may be configured to supply charging current from the low voltage power source to at least one of the plurality of electrically isolated stacks.
