A power conversion system includes a power converter that converts an input voltage into a DC output voltage. Additionally, the power conversion system also includes a controller that provides a self-adjusting set-point control scheme for the power converter. A method of power conversion system operation is also provided.

Regulated controller with self-adjusting output set-point control

A DC power system and a system controller for the DC power system are disclosed herein. The architecture of the DC power allows optimizing efficiency thereof. In one embodiment, the DC power system includes: (1) a battery configured to provide transitional DC power to a load bus of the DC power system, the battery indirectly coupled to the load bus, (2) a source connection circuit configured to conditionally connect the battery to the load bus and (3) a DC power system controller configured to direct the source connection circuit to connect the battery to the load bus in response to an outage of an AC input of the DC power system.

DC power system having a power architecture for optimizing efficiency and a system controller of the system

Included herein is a DC power plant, a DC power system, a method charging a remote battery system and a battery charging controller. In one embodiment, the DC power plant includes: (1) a rectifier system including an AC power input and a DC power output, the rectifier system configured to receive an AC input voltage at the AC power input and produce a DC output voltage at the DC power output and (2) a controller configured to determine a permitted charging current for a remote battery system coupled to the rectifier system and dynamically adjust the DC output voltage to provide the permitted charging current for the remote battery system.
