Abstract
A data center power distribution system includes at least one switch configured to couple at least one first power source to a load and at least one converter configured to couple at least one second power source to the load. The system further includes a control circuit configured to implement a state machine that controls the at least one switch and the at least one converter to redundantly provide power to the load using variable source designations for the at least one first power source and the at least one second power source. Variation of the source designations for the at least one first power source and the at least one second power source may vary a priority relationship among the at least one first power source and the at least one second power source responsive to a control input.
