Abstract
A method of ground fault detection in a power distribution system includes detecting a ground fault in the power distribution system; sending an instruction to a first switching device to disconnect a first energy storage unit from the energy storage system whilst the remaining energy storage units remain connected in parallel to the DC bus to be able to continue to supply power to the power distribution system and testing again for a ground fault. The testing for a ground fault is carried out again and disconnecting, testing and reconnecting steps are repeated until the ground fault has been identified, or all energy storage units have been tested.
