Abstract
A system and method for providing power to a vehicle is disclosed. The system can include a plurality of parallel module converter modules ('modules') each capable of supplying a predetermined electrical load. The plurality of parallel module converter modules can be networked to form a parallel module converter ('converter') for prioritizing and allocating each electrical load to one or more parallel module converter modules. Each module can include an internal protection controller and a logic controller. The individual modules can provide power to various loads in the vehicle either alone, or in concert with other modules. The system can enable fewer power controllers to be used, saving weight and time. The controllers in the system can also be utilized at a higher level reducing unnecessary redundancy.
